Linux

kitty, nvim, fish, zed, mpv, btop, borg. Weird how all the gone ones have short names. Depending on the system, I would add tlp as well.

Darktable. A replacement for adobe lightroom.

System :

• zram (who says you can't just install more RAM 😄 )

Terminal :

• kitty (terminal emulator)
• fastfetch (must take screenshots to show off every new Linux install, it's in the EULA)
• zsh (thought I'd like to try nushell one of these days) with zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-completiions and zsh-suggestions
• GNU Stow (to manage symlinks, I store my dotfiles in a repo witch contains home, etc and usr folders, and I use GNU Stow to symlink them respectively to /home/username, /etc and /usr, that way all my config is in the same place so I can back it up easily and have version control)
• rsync (to sync backup folders)
• btop (system monitoring)
• clamav (antivirus)
• brightnessctl (for screen brightness control, but I should probably use brillo instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGOaSS8nEQA)
• yt-dpl (for downloading videos from YouTube/TikTok/wherever else)
• ani-cli (for watching anime from the terminal, obviously a must-have for any ~~Arch~~ Mint user)
• figlet (to write text from fonts made of ASCII art)
• cpipes, asciiquarium, cbonsai, matrix for when I get bored in meetings
• hollywood and rust-stakeholer if I ever need to pretend I'm doing something productive
• lots of TUI apps from https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis

General GUI apps :

• Sway (tiling WM) though I'd really like to try niri (instead of several workspace it has a single one of infinite length that you can scroll through)
• rofi and rofi-calc (app launcher that can also do a lot other stuff if you want like file browser, ssh menu, calculator, emoji selector, it's very light and superfast), also rofi-emoji (emoji selector)
• VSCode (code editor)
• KeepassXC (password manager)
• lutris, steam, protontricks, ProtonGE (gaming)
• FontManager
• Ventoy (for making USBs with multiple ISO on them)
• LibreOffice

Internet :

• Waterfox + LibreWolf (web browsers) with the following extensions : uBlock, Consent-O-matic, DownThemAll, KeepasXC-Browser, Copy PlainText, Copy Link Text, EPUB Reader, Markdown Viewer Web Ext, Sponsor Block, Return YouTube Dislike, YouTube Anti Translate, CanvasBlocker, Font Fingerprint Defender, WebGL Fingerprint Defender (I had to give up on User-Agent Switcher because it causes me to be blocked on too many websites)
• qBittorrent (BitTorrent client)
• FileZilla (FTP client)

Media :

• XVview (image viewer)
• ksnip (GUI screen capture)
• Gimp (image editor)
• Inkscape (vector image editor)
• MPC and VLC (audio/video players)
• Libation (to liberate Audible audiobooks from your account)
• cheese (camera)

I'm on Arch so the package names might be a bit different
