After I install Linux Mint (which is the distro I have settled on), I replace:
- Thunderbird with Betterbird
- Firefox with Librewolf (I also install Brave for web services that need a chromium browser).
- Celluloid / Rythmbox with VLC player
- Default Libreoffice with latest Libreoffice from source.
- ClipIt/Parcellite with xfce4-clipman
I find this to be my optimal setup and these software give me the extra quality of life that make my workflows easier.
What software do you replace and install on your distro of choice?
Edit: I forgot to say I replace sudo with doas. That’s something my friend told me to do although I personally don’t find any immediate working advantage with it.
- Firefox -> Edge
- Libreoffice -> Gsuite PWAs
- kernel -> Azure Linux kernel (added trust of Microsoft)
- nano -> vim
- vi -> Emacs
- GNOME -> Deepin
- Bash -> Powershell >=7.0
I think you forgot to add /s
Probably should have added yeah. Based on the amount of downvotes, some people took it too seriously
cat > bat
ls > exa
(h)top > btop
whatever terminal > alacritty
whatever browser > librewolf + brave
cli editor > micro
app launcher > albert
vlc > mpv
Why hate for librewolf?
read carefully, he’s replacing whatever browser with librewolf or brave
ups, stupid me, but why then love for brave?
Nothing. I picked a distro that works for me out of the box. On top of that I only installed stuff, instead of replacing stuff.
Too many people concentrate on which distro when in fact it’s the desktop they choose that will have the biggest impact on their experience
KDE <3
I prefer KDE >3
Is KDE 3 so bad that people only prefer <3 or >3, but never =3?
