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.

Since I'm not sure where to ask what is probably a basic question, what's a Linux package?

The first 3 things I always add after a fresh install: aptitude emacs (-nox for servers) tree

Then it depends what the machine is for.

  • alacritty
  • neovim
  • tmux
  • vifm - terminal file manager with vi keybindings.
  • zathura - pdf reader with vi keybindings.
  • inxi - prints information about your hardware.
  • tldr - cheat sheet for common commands
  • qalculate - the most powerful calculator I've seen. There are qt, gtk and cli versions of it.
  • moreutils - collection of tools. My favourite is vidir, it opens directory structure in your terminal text editor, so that you can rename multiple files easily.
