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 :)
For audio work, I use 4 programs: LMMS, yt-dlp, demucs, and audacity
My workflow usually goes yt-dlp to download audio/samples, then either audacity and demucs. Audacity I use for splicing the clips I need, and if its necessary, I use demucs to split stems either on the full song before splicing clips with audacity or splitting stems after getting the clips I want. I then use LMMS to sample and layer drums and other samples usually.
