Sweet! ... but does anyone understand you?
Favorite apps you install right after the operating system or can't live without on Linux.

Well you obviously do, or is than only when I use Jibberish
vim - because Vim is life!
vifm - because it’s a file manager that uses Vim keybinds!
tmux - terminal multiplexer.
w3m - terminal based browser.
gcc, g++, cgdb, make, cmake, git, svn and a ton of development libraries.
ghci (Glasgow Haskell Compiler Collection) - because I’ve been trying to learn Haskell for a while.
dwm - suckless.org’s legendary tiling window manager
dmenu - suckless.org’s text based launcher
cmus - lightweight terminal based audio player
st - suckless terminal
ag (aka the silver-searcher) - basically multithreaded grep on steroids!
farbfeld - suckless.org’s own open-image format, required by:
sent - suckless.org’s amazing presentation solution. Allows you to create PowerPoint-like slide-shows/presentations using the Takahashi presentation style, just using simple markup language in the terminal.
T - terminal based Twitter client
Tuir - terminal based Reddit client
ncdu - ncurses based disk usage application for the terminal
powertop - another take on the ‘top’ command. Allows you keep track of which applications/processes are using more power and allows you to make tweaks to various system settings to reduce power consumption.
tabbed - another suckless.org tool for creating multiple instances of an application in a tabbed interface.
goto - a tool to allow you to bookmark various locations in your file-system and jump to them.
stup - a note management system for agile developers using the scrum methodology.
Organise your daily notes, ready for your daily scrum/standup meetings.
note - my own note management system, used for more general notes.
On the GUI side of things:
Codeblocks
QtCreator (and the rest of the QT suite of tools QTdesigner etc)
Asunder - for ripping my CD’s to MP3/OGG/FLAC etc.
Kid3 - for tagging ripped mp3 files
Audacity + Tons off plugins
Jack - Jack Audio Connection Kit
Ardour - DAW
Gimp
Krita
Blender
VLC
Guvcview
OBS studio - great for recording desktop videos or presenting live-streams.
K3b - CD/DVD burning application. Great for burning mixes of demos to CD, so they can be listened to in the car - the true litmus test of any recording. If it sounds great in the car, it’ll sound great everywhere else, ha ha!
There’s tons more. I’ve barely scratched the surface!
