How to submit to LinuxLinks
Open the LinuxLinks submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Have your assets ready
Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse LinuxLinks (Linux users looking for mature open-source applications), not for search engines.
Wait for review
A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.
Tips for LinuxLinks
- Search the site first; programs that already have a page won't be added again.
- It must run on a modern Linux distribution and be actively maintained; abandoned projects are not wanted.
- The form asks you to declare whether generative AI was used substantially to build the software.
From LinuxLinks’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for open-source directories.
- Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
- A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
- Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
- 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
- The exact page you want the link to point to
- Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
- Repo URL and the exact license name (e.g. MIT, AGPL-3.0)
- A README with install steps and a screenshot or example
- A one-line description in the list’s own format
- Whether there is a hosted or paid version alongside the open-source one
Is LinuxLinks worth it?
Good for your SEO foundation
LinuxLinks reviews listings by hand and the listing link we inspected was followed. That combination is what makes a directory link worth having for a new site.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 62 (strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #130,384: a mid-sized site, inside the top 500,000.
- A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
- Free to list, so the only cost is your time.
This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
