Install Additional Software

You can install a lot of additional software from ROSA repositories. In order to do this, launch "Install and Remove Software" program from the System Settings panel (aka "Configure Your System").

Note
If you are a newbie in Linux and don't know which particular program you need, try to use http://www.alternativeto.net to find analogues of your favourite applications

In particular, in ROSA repositories you will find:

Skype
Steam

We recommend to use versions from our repositories.

If for some reason you are not satisfied by OpenJDK provided with ROSA, you can install Oracle Java from the official site. Due to license restrictions, we cannot put it to our repositories.

Alternative Desktop Environments

You can also try our default ROSA Desktop Fresh with KDE4 or new version of Plasma 5.

Besides them, ROSA repositories provide alternative lightweight desktop environments. For some of them our community members prepare separate ISO images from time to time. But at any moment you can get one of these environments on your desktop just by installing corresponding task- package.
