I’ll start:
- Tmux
- vim
- 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.
Depends on what the machine is for.
• git
• vim
• openssh
• openssl
• fail2ban
• curl
• byobu
• webmin (to give limited access to non-Linux help desk technicians)- Kitty
- fish + all the shell builtins
- LunarVim (Neovim)
- git + lazygit
- openssh
- npm
- cargo
- docker
Edit:
- wget
- httpie
- tar & (un)zip
Try podman it’s lighter than docker. 😂
I will! I once already used it for cross compiling and it seemed really nice ^^

Til. Thanks for sharing this
As boring as it is, gcc.
I feel that.
I still favor gcc over clang
I switched to clang a long time ago, when gcc’s support for C++11 was not that good.
Why do you personally prefer gcc?
I develop mostly in C and largely for creating shellcode.
I have run into very weird issues with clang relocating code and data segments even when using a custom linker script
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
- 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”

If you like exa and fzf, you’ll also like
fd(or sometimesfd-find).Woah, how I missed this? Thanks! Seems very comfy and way faster, btw on my deb machines it’s fdfind
- neovim
- alacritty
- zsh
- oh my zsh
- starship (promp)
- zellij
- btop | htop
- ripgrep
- fd-find
- exa
- fnm (nvm alternative, since nvm starts too slow for me)
- yt-dlp
- bat (batcat)
- the usual base-devel / build-essential
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

- KDE
- KiCad
- GIMP

- Chromium
- Kerbal Space Program
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.
Adding to that:
- neovim for workstations
- curl
- wget
- zsh
Edit: So essentially for me, I forgot to include it: vim, my beloved, always and for ever
Def curl and wget!
Zsh is great but I ended up falling back to bash for simplicity.
Im not really into the bash simplicity, but it’s proven and stable.
I just have a git repo with configs on my git Server, I make changes regularly and roll them out with a quick bash script.

A few from the top of my head:
- git
- neovim
- nix (package manager)
- mpv + yt-dlp (stream music from yt with
--no-videoargument) - unbound
- caddy (quickly spin up local web servers with https)
Edit: almost forgot, I’ve been using zsh + znap package manager and loving it.
