I’ll start:

  • Tmux
  • vim
  • ghidra
  • okteta (hex editor)
  • speedcrunch (calculator with bit manipulation)
  • python3 with IPython for nice reply and embed(), pwntools
  • nyan

    Stuff that I insist on regardless of platform (that is, I install these even onto Windows systems if I’m forced to use them):

    • Pale Moon (web browser)
    • Claws Mail
    • GIMP
    • vbindiff (command-line hex editor + diff utility for binary files)
    • mercurial
    • perl

    Stuff that I require only on Linux systems for desktop use:

    • Pan (yes, really, I still use a Usenet newsreader on a daily basis)
    • qemu
    • conky
    • Aqualung (music player—I like odd software)
    • Inkscape
    • Scribus
    • PySol ;)
    • rdesktop (less a favourite than a regrettable necessity)
    • various TDE built-ins: konqueror (as file manager only), kedit, kate, konsole, ark
    • Makussu@feddit.de

      Is there a reason you use mercurial (like work) or are you using it, because you like it better than git or fossil?

        Fossil I’ve never tried, but I utterly hate git. Nothing about how it works makes sense to me. Mercurial is, in my opinion, better-designed and easier to understand for my rather simple use cases. (I should note that I graduated from university around the time svn was replacing csv, so I was coding before there was such a thing as distributed version control.)
