Does anyone have a place/site for browsing through new/popular utilities? I've been on Ubuntu for the last year and I love it, but reading this I just realised I don't have anywhere to browse or find things like this.



You can view a list of new Ubuntu packages from its website [0]. You might also want to check out the packages in the games [1], misc [2] and text [3] sections, which are full of fun utilities. You might also want to view the man pages from the games section [4].

[1] http://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/games/

[2] http://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/misc/

[3] http://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/text/

[4] https://linux.die.net/man/6/


Well, this is not specifically for utilities in the sense of scripts in a file, or compiled binaries, but commandlinefu.com has many Unix one-or-more-liners.

I wonder if it is time for a freshmeat.net alternative?
