From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

              GIMP (with photogimp patch)
Steam
Librewolf (I could also opt for a chromium based browser)
Tor Browser (to browse onion links/throwaway browser)
Heroic Games Launcher
Prism Launcher
latest Java lts (either from adoptium or openjdk i dont care about flashy new features)
Libreoffice Still (similar to the second reason above and onlyoffice in appimage due to Libreoffice weird handling with ppsx files and powerpoints)
QEMU/KVM with virt manager
Gnome evolution (if it's gtk desktop I could opt for other email clients)
Proton-GE
WINE
Ghostty(Kinda sucks it's based on libadwaita and gnome forces this theme on you no matter your desktop)
Fish/ZSH(fish not having posix compatibility is kinda annoying)
MPV (I could still use vlc but I prefer mpv because it can stream youtube links)
ytp-dl(I can opt for a gui for convenience sake)
BTOP
Fastfetch
