So /g/, what are the best pieces of software for GNU/Linux?
That you often use, that you know, that you like or that are just fun.
I'd like to know more console based solutions.
For example: HTop, VTop, Glances, Pass, Neofetch, Inxi, Speedtest-cli, NameBench, Mosh, etc.
Other software I like: Guacamole, Dash, XFCE Terminal, Kitty, PCManFM, Vivaldi, VMM, etc.
Also, what about UEFI tools? I have rEFInd, and I currently have entries for the OEM's HW Diagnostics and Memtest86.
I don't mind proprietary or closed source software. Meme software that's interesting is welcome too.

I tried to install Fish but apparently the repos are down or something. I'll try tomorrow.
console based white noise generator:< /dev/urandom | padsp tee /dev/audio > /dev/null
Sublime text
>>62474279
Wat's the meme with Sublime? I think Atom is far better and more customizable. .
>>62473966
firejail
>>62473966
I love QGIS, it's great for doing cool shit with maps and data (GIS)
Libvirt and its graphical frontend is better than VMware/virtualbox
Rawtherapee is nice for touching up RAW images
mpsyt for playing YouTube videos/music from a terminal
Audacious is a good music player
Tmux works better than screen for my console needs
>>62474304
Also uses bloaty Electron.
>>62474403
If I minded "Heavy" Software I would use Emacs.
>>62474396
How good is good? I've used VMM, but I'm a sucker for VMWare and always go back.
>>62474304
Atom is fine but I prefer sublime for it's stability.
If you ever had to edit a 5gb database export you'd know what I mean. While atom is unresponsive for 5 minutes and then usually crashes, sublime has it loaded up within a few seconds.
Also there's stuff like package control for it which makes it pretty much just as customisable in a fashion that's just as intuitive.
I still like atom but I think sublime is just nicer to use.
>>62474435
It's less of a hassle to do stuff like changing the size of a virtual disk image, importing vms, managing snapshots, and other tasks instead of doing it in the autistic Oracle/VMware way, but more importantly it feels nice to use a fully open source solution. I get the creeps just by installing closed source repos on my system.
Maybe this doesn't bother other people, and it's fine.
>>62474304
Atom is slow as fuck tho

What about lurking 4chan on the terminal, can I do that?
>>62483037
lynx terminal web browser
>>62483037
netsurf, until netrunner is ready
>>62483053
>netsurf
>>62483074
I was looking for something like rtv
>>62483119
you'll need a 4chan pass to browse without javascript enabled, most text based web browsers have no javascript, except by elinks, enter the netrunner project which may let you browse and post from the terminal
For devs https://github.com/adtac/climate
>>62483193
I don't get it. Netrunner is a Distro, so what about a complete Distro is going to change about trying to lurk 4chan in a terminal?
>>62483246
https://netrunner.cc/
>>62483260
Oh shit hahah, that completely went over my head. Is the whole moon thing discarded now?
>>62483289
I hope not, it was cool

Just tried netrunner and it's shit. Hopefully it'll get better with time.
>>62483400
of course is shit, it isn't finished, needs more devs though, so it can be finished faster
>>62483398
>https://github.com/qqueue/ANSICHAN
Did you try it? That shit relies on some sort of hosted crap that does not work anymore. Also, it hasn't been maintained in 4 years.
>>62478362
Why?
>>62473966
POO

>I'd like to know more console based solutions.
>MPS-Youtube
This one is really fun and highly recommended. It's a simple terminal program to search, stream and download music from Youtube integrated with mpv.
>Ranger
Terminal based file manager. A lot of people use it and like it. Personally find this to be meme software, I end up using Nautilus 90% of the time instead.
>Ncmpcpp + Mpd
Terminal based music player. It's pretty powerful and easy to use.
>rTorrent
Bittorrent client that's really quick and efficient. Probably the best bittorrent client available. It's terminal based, but has a number of web interfaces and GUIs that can be used in conjunction.
>Weechat
Lightweight, modular, console based IRC client.
>Vim
Console based text editor with a host of available addons and powerful keybinds. Pretty self explanatory.

Because it loses a lot of Bash compatibility simply on the basis of "it's cryptic".
