Canonical has published a list with the most downloaded free applications on Ubuntu Software Center, for May.

IntelliJ IDEA 12 Community Edition is still in the last place of the chart. This is a free and open source version of IntelliJ IDEA, a well-known IDE for Java, Groovy, Scala and Android.

Plex Media Server, an application that makes it possible for users to stream music, (local and online) videos and photos from the Ubuntu desktop to the TV, Roku box, Android phone, iPhone, PlayStation 3, and Xbox360, is now in the ninth place.

The trial version of CrossOver is in the eighth position. This application allows users to install and run Windows applications in a Linux environment, with the help of Wine.

Splashtop Remote Desktop App for Linux is in the seventh place. This is a new entry in the top. According to the developers, this application can be used to access important files or photos on another computer without worrying about syncing, converting or compatibility issues.

Nitro, a task management software that will help people organize their days in a more efficient manner, that comes with Dropbox and Ubuntu One support, is in the sixth place.

ScreenCloud is in the fifth position. It’s an easy-to-use screenshot tool that can be used in a large number of instances.

YouTube to MP3, an easy-to-use software which can be used to download YouTube videos as MP3, takes the forth position.

Master PDF Editor, an application used to view, print and edit PDF and XPS files, is in the third place.

Motorbike takes home the silver medal. This is just a casual bike skills game, full of action and real physics dynamics. Be careful though, it only offers the first 10 levels for free.

Steam, the client for Valve’s digital distribution platform, is still in the first position and there is little hope it’s going to lose that position any time soon.
