My must have Open Source Software for your Mac

If you are a Mac user like me you are likely to fall in the category of ‘once you mac you can’t go back’. I was a PC/Windows user for many years until I discovered the world of Apple while working for a tech company during the late 1990s. Since then my love for Apple and it’s simplicity of products, design, security and privacy has won me over. When Apple introduced OS X in 2001 based on the Unix architecture the door for third-party applications was opened and allowed many to pursue the route of Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) on the Mac environment. Below is list of must have FLOSS software on your mac.
