From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Trying to discover new/unheard Linux desktop programs (Sorry for the confusion).

Edit: I apologise for confusing a lot of people. I meant Linux desktop “programs” coming from Windows/Mac. I'm used to calling them “apps”.

Edit: 🙌 I’m overwhelmed with the great “programs” people have recommended in the comment section. Thank you guys.

Emacs is the only app you'll ever need once you've mastered it.

Is it even possible to master emacs?

When I finally learned about Pocket just a few years ago it surprised me greatly that I didn't know about it before and now I use it daily:

Htop vim and ncdu to name a few terminal apps.

+1 for vim. Although I usually use a stripped down gvim.

Didn't know ncdu, will try.

I prefer btop to htop, the interface is much nicer.

For the terminal (and within vim) another must-have is fzf.

ncdu is like Filelight but for terminal. It’s awesome!

K9S, it is a TUI kubernetes manager that really integrates well into my workflow.
