Firefox (Opera and Chrome) - Thunderbird - LibreOffice - Okular
Gimp - Inkscape - Gwenview - VLC
Krusader
Komodo-Edit (non free)
Anydesk (non free)
Mysql - Mysqlworkbench - Apache - PHP - Samba
Kruler - KColorchooser

Owncloud-client and Nextcloud-client
Java

With that I can do my work!
Every 4 years I make a clean install on the partition with the oldest install I always have 2,
making the transition to newer software easier.

tmux to have more than one terminal session in a single terminal emulator (very useful in a headless RaspBerry Pi or arch install), vim (I can use vi, but prefer vim), keychain for ssh key management, git for source management, progress to see the progress of cp, and dd, zsh and its syntax highlight plugin (helps me quickly spot typos), build-tools (what comes bundled in build-essential in debian based distros, or base-devel in arch based distros), ag (the silver searcher)

First things first is youtube-dl can't live without downloading my favorite music I tend to uninstall web Cam software and any extensions to live office as I Love Arch I prefer a simple system as I own a low end computer

ph17ur · 03-04-2019, 04:15 PM

First every time: Keepass / KeePassX - I'm running blind without it.

Then logging in to my Mozilla account so I get FF back to just how I like it.

And if not already installed...

GIMP
Inkscape
Sublime Text
Chromium
Clam

I try Ubuntu the first time I got introduce to Linux a few years back and had been about4 years that I'm using Mint since I saw it, I switch, give it a try and I like it very much and I have been using Mint since It's Great, I Love It.
