Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

    BONUS: here’s some command-line toys that are not useful or necessary, but are just real fun to take a look at especially if you’re new to linux:

    • cmatrix (does the matrix code rain thing)
    • cowsay (ascii cow with speech bubble)
    • sl (steam locomotive in your terminal)
    • cbonsai (generate bonsai tree)
    • neofetch (this one is actually very useful and will print system information in an aesthetically pleasing way)

      fastfetch is neofetch in C instead of bash, makes it much faster.

        I have always felt that the speed of neofetch is the bottleneck of my productivity.

      Cmatrix,SL and neofetch work on android too through termux, I bet others would too, but I have only tested these two
