Where to find a list of all applications on my computer?

Where do I go to find downloads installed on my computer like Java, Adobe Reader so I can verify which version and update if I need to?

One option would be Synaptic package manager, tab status -> installed
Official packages installed via package management are updated automatically.
It's also possible to search with package name or to view history (menu -> file -> history).

To create a listing of all installed packages via CLI:
COLUMNS=200 dpkg-query -l > packages.list

The file packages.list will be in /home/user_name
