There are many default applications you can find on Solus 3 Budgie. Libreoffice 5, Rhytmbox audio player, video player, Mozilla Firefox and some others.

Software Manager

The built in software center makes us easier to install or uninstall applications under Solus OS 3. I like this Software Center with minimalist design and pretty responsive. We can set the update interval and install some third party software such as Google Chrome, Flash Player, Android Studio and many more.

 

I have a little issue with the Software Center. When I tried to install something, the Software Center frozen for some times. Its pretty annoying because the automatic updating process. I recommend to disable the auto update feature on the Software Center.
