I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

Linux@lemmy.ml – 104 points – 8 months ago

Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

BONUS: here's some command-line toys that are not useful or necessary, but are just real fun to take a look at especially if you're new to linux:

cmatrix (does the matrix code rain thing)
cowsay (ascii cow with speech bubble)
sl (steam locomotive in your terminal)
cbonsai (generate bonsai tree)
neofetch (this one is actually very useful and will print system information in an aesthetically pleasing way)
