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.

          I still can’t get why people should downvote your comment, but fine.

          Nah, I’m just bored of pointless sarcastic replies being at the top. It’s bloat!

            Thanks for the explanation. I was hoping it was this instead of “I disagree!”

      nano -> vim

      This one is extremely consistent with the others because once you have made the switch, it becomes harder to escape.
