- ghidra
- okteta (hex editor)
- speedcrunch (calculator with bit manipulation)
- python3 with IPython for nice reply and embed(), pwntools
This is amazing. Thank you!
Holy shit I need this.
Another of those rare times I don’t expect to laugh in a thread.

Awesome list! Thanks for providing links.
micro text editor is very good. powerful and simple.
For me, this is the main reason why I use micro. And because I don’t like the handling of vim. Funnily enough, I’ve been playing around with Helix for a while now and I really like the editor, even though it’s a modal editor, just like vim. Maybe because of the selection → action model. The question is, do I like Helix better than micro? I still have to answer that question for myself at some point.
I see a lot of the good ones are already mentioned. But I can’t use a linux system for more than an hour without ‘thefuck’ installed
Well I’m installing this as soon as I get home.
linux-headers
One that I didn’t see on here that I’ve added to my list
- tldr
- simplified man pages with common example commands.-
If on desktop
- distro-box
- yakuake
- tldr
For everything:
- vi/vim
- ssh & sshd
For everything except firewalls:
- C, C++, Perl, Common Lisp, Scheme programming tools
- lynx
- wget/curl
- git
- ksh (on *BSD)
- telnet (yeah, there’s equipment that still uses telnet out there)
For a desktop:
- Emacs
- xterm
- GNU plotutils
- TeXlive
- X11 utilities (xcalc, editres, etc.)
- Atmel and Arduino toolchains
- xpdf
- KDE
- KiCad
- GIMP
- Inkscape
- Firefox
- Chromium
- Kerbal Space Program
- docker (What, you never wanted to use a optimized version of cmatrix that uses only 512KiB of ram while barely scratching your CPU?)
- foot
- brave
- (on docker) btop, cmatrix, lynx
What is this optimized cmatrix you speak of? The normal one slows my desktop to a crawl when it runs.
Basically, a “handcrafted” cmatrix with compilation flags focused on optimization and the musl library (which is “technically better” than glib, a standard library on most distros).
Do feel free to try it out however, its only 139KiB – click here.
tl;dr guide on how to get it running
1- Install docker (docker on most distros – docker.io on ubuntu and friends)
2- sudo usermod -aG docker (addyourusernamehere)
3- reboot
4- run it with “docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --net none --read-only defnotgustavom/cmatrix:marchedition”
Desktop:
- distrobox
- brave
- flatpak
- neovim
- nix
- fish
- tmux
- vim
- git
- rust (via rustup)
- codium
- pycharm ce
- nu (shell)
- starship (shell prompt)
- firefox
- sway
- alacritty
- python
- iproute (or whatever package has ip in distro)
- keepassxc
- gcc/g++
- make
- podman (or docker)
To add to all great comments here I have one that I’ve used for ages and not seen mentioned here: lftp
It supports many protocols for ftp like over ssh and allows for shaky connections with resume and back in the days when this was more common I used to just run it in the background to download huge files that took days to download and it would gracefully just reconnect/resume/retry until done.
yay
Depends on what the machine is for.
- neovim
- fzf
- ripgrep
- Firefox
- git
- lazygit
- wezterm
- zsh
- Tmux
- NeoVim
- Git
- FZF
- Fish
- ssh Lots of others, but these are the day-to-day
+1 for fish shell. The lack of POSIX compliance really doesn’t matter at all day-to-day, but all the qol features that the shell has absolutely do matter and they are so worth it.
And I forgot Python. As a Data Engineer. Whoops!
