Just wondering what programs (aside from the coreutils/X11 and other
elements that make up a basic install), do you consider to be a vital
part of YOUR Linux install? What are the little additional tools that
you can't live without, or just consider to be necessary that maybe
others wouldn't?
Varies but probably less, tmux, zsh and some minimal vi for editor are
the bare minimum. In fact, even back when I had a router with just 8 MB
flash for all storage, those four went in. Well, screen instead of tmux
back then. Uncomfortable to think people make do with awful Busybox.
X server or client stuff is by no means required since some of my
machines are headless. Might be some throwaway virtual machine too for
something or other.
Usually also:
- Emacs if there's more editing or note taking to do and/or I get around
to it as then I'll want to pull my shared Emacs config somehow and
that means some sync setup or at least git.
- These days, bat for a file viewer or vim, same reason, color support
for easier reading of various files in the terminal.
- I usually eventually will need wget and then likely unzip and possibly
some other uncompression tools may follow.
- bup for backups if needed.
