Pomodoro : http://gnomepomodoro.org
If you're a productivity freak like myself instead of using a conventional timer, a pomodoro timer should be installed on your computer. It will help you focus on your tasks while not forgetting to take a break every now and then. Below you can see the preferences where you can set the time, break and sound as you preferred.
Shutter : http://shutter-project.org
Are you finding difficulties for a perfect and stable screenshot like snipping tool?
Shutter is the answer. It works just fine as snipping tool. Instead of screenshoting the whole page, with shutter you can pick specific area even on websites.
Education
Stellarium : http://stellarium.org
This one is optional but I really love this software and has been trying to stargazing for a couple of days now. It is a software that allows you to see the realistic sky as if you see them with naked eyes. However, the sky has to be clear for you to really see in open ground even you can see the starts from your computer.
Internet & Communication
uTox : https://utox.org
We've seen problem with Facebook messenger therefore, if you really care about your privacy and information, this should be your next instant messenger. It's secure, easy to use, without registration and works like any other messenger Best of all it has dark mode. Not to mention, it's also available for Android.
Programming
NotepadQQ : https://notepadqq.com/s/
This is the best part of all. I finally found replacement of notepad ++ as I've been using it since highschool. I only stumble upon this gem about a week ago.

Office
Basketnotepad : https://basket-notepads.github.io
Were you an avid user of Microsoft OneNote or Evernote and finding difficulties for similar software?
Well, Basketnotepad works just the same. It serves me the same function and I couldn't be bothered to be online and having to deal with the login and what not.
Task Coach : http://www.taskcoach.org
Task Coach is pretty much like task reminder. It will help you organize everything you have to do for the day. Quite useful if you always work in front of computer all day like myself.
Softwares listed above are open source projects which you can contribute as simple as translating into your own native language. So perhaps if you want to support the project, you can do it.

@rezack, it's okay. I try to provide new information for people who are novice to technology. I try to write as simple as possible.

Very nice and useful post. I really liked it.
I used Linux few years ago, didn't use any of that programs I must admit.
Thanks for sharing.
@interdeus Perhaps now you can switch to Linux again and use the programs I mentioned above as they're quite useful. It has the same functionality as Windows softwares too!
It has been years since the last time I tried ubuntu.
But right now I find myself very comfortable using Windows.
@dedicatedguy, Windows is good for a user who wants easy things. I like linux simply because my old computer handles processing better than when it used windows. Also now I have more control for softwares which is being installed in my device.
i have almost everything in Terminal, including twitter, mail, music and reddit, Shutter installed and with Utox I have problems with logging into the profile, but I use Antox on my phone.
