| Best FOSS for your life: Intelligent computing (Image owner : Open source India ) |
The power of FOSS is not new to anyone, being economic and customizable; these applications can save lots from your wallet as well as your ideas can be implemented inside with little effort. Here I compiled 10 best FOSS for your daily use in Windows/Linux.
From the moment you log in to your Windows to shutdown it, many of the application people uses that are either closed source or Open source. Closed source software are the commercially developed application that are developed by team and all the maintenance, upgrading, debugging etc are performed by those confined rooms. Open source software is outcome of the enthuse developer.
These software are firstly developed by individual person tested, and uploaded for public use, after this people uses them, and join them for further development. People contribute as volunteer and ideas that come in each upgrade are much wider than any team can have. Surprisingly these applications are used by worldwide people and sources are free for everyone and can modify them further.
Being Free of cost make these applications used by wider verity of people, not only economically but also perfect as their individual or organizational use. For example a CRM application which is open source can be further modified by organization as per their best use in that environment.
