I'd add:

  • ghostscript - with some basic perl scripts, works great for pdf flattening/compressing, merging, splitting, adding bookmarks etc.
  • poppler - pdfseparate, sometimes pdfunite
  • zathura - pdf viewing
  • feh - images
  • sshfs - prefer it to rclone
  • cheat
  • emacs - org-mode, latex, dired/wdired, capture, eshell, vterm, tramp
  • mc/midnight commander
  • permalink
  • fedilink
  • source
