You know, the first place I search for desktop software is on the apt repositories. Even when I'm looking software for Windows (then I repeat the names on Google to see if they run there).

Searching in aptitude is much better than on the web.

To be fair, FOSS repos are easier to organise as devs wont use dirty tricks like fake reviews to promote their apps. Kinda like the meta keyword in the early web.
