Use alternativeto.net .... not necessarily for just Windows programs alternatives; but it is also great for looking at popular utilities for any task in Linux.

Some programs I use a lot were not suggested anywhere else (e.g. Pluma as a basic text editor and Pinta for basic image editing).

alternativeto.net

They also have the best tech/software blog I've ever seen
