TuxPick

Moving from Windows? Get your apps back.

Pick your apps. Run one script.

Tick the apps you used on Windows, or type one in to find the Linux version. You get one file that installs everything on Ubuntu, straight from the people who make each app.

Tick everything a new Ubuntu machine needs from over 100 free apps. You get a single installer that sets it all up from official sources, skips anything that fails, and tells you what happened at the end.

Works on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04, Zorin OS and Pop!_OS. Apps marked “Also on Windows” are the very same apps you already know.

Works on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04, and systems built on them like Zorin OS and Pop!_OS. Linux Mint turns Snap off, so pick apps marked apt or Flathub there.

Start from

This machine

Try , , , or

Official sources only

Apps come from the Ubuntu archive, the Snap Store, Flathub, or the maker's own download and repository.

One failure won't stop the rest

If an app can't install, the script notes it and moves on. The summary lists anything that needs another go.

Run it again to update

Everything already installed is checked and brought up to date. Nothing is installed twice.

Waits for Ubuntu's own updates

On a fresh install, automatic updates often hold the package lock. The script waits instead of erroring.

Counts, not people

We count downloads and finished installs, and which apps get picked. No names, addresses or details about your computer. Add --no-stats when you run it to skip even that.

  • Give each computer a profile, like Accounts or Reception, and it gets the right apps automatically.
  • Update every computer from one screen, overnight, trying updates on two computers first.
  • Add your own software alongside the TuxPick list.
