After I install Linux Mint (which is the distro I have settled on), I replace:

  1. Thunderbird with Betterbird
  2. Firefox with Librewolf (I also install Brave for web services that need a chromium browser).
  3. Celluloid / Rythmbox with VLC player
  4. Default Libreoffice with latest Libreoffice from source.
  5. 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.

    Interesting.

    I wonder if it’ll work with lsp, when it sends data to pager. I’ll start testing this out.

    EDIT: Whoa… 23megs for cat clone. Rust projects do have a whole lot of dependecies. I counted crates 128 for this.

    Oh well. I’ll start compiling.
