Disclaimer: I tried searching for something like “useful programs”, “useful packages”, “useful tools”, “recommended packages”, etc. Don’t see any posts like that, if this is a duplicate, then it’s not intentional and my search skills have failed me.
Anyway, I was watching a YT video today and the guy launched a cool program in his terminal, I paused to see what he was running. It was btop, of course being new I never heard about it. Then I thought – how many cool tools/packages are there, which people use, but I am not aware of?
So what do you like? What do you install on a fresh install? What are the most useful tools in your belt? What can’t you live without on Linux?
Perhaps I’ll find something useful :)
May I request for the people that answer, don’t just answer with the name of the program, tell us what it does, why you like it, bonus points if you post a link to where to get it as well.
I’m a relatively new Linux user and I’ve been going through threads that ask the same sort of question and 90% of the answers are just “[app name]” and nothing else. I know I could just search it for myself, but be kind and write a few words extra.
