systemd

Does “Linux” itself count? I can’t even remember the last time I had anything running Linux have a system crash.

vim

grep

openssh

and on the opposite side, nvidia drivers

less is an unsung hero.

Proton.

It allowed me to ditch Windows for good. Playing games on Linux, often with similar or even better performance than on Windows, was an insane idea ten or fifteen years ago. Nowadays it‘s rare to see a game not working on day one. And if it doesn‘t, Proton‘s devs oftentimes fix it within a day or two. It‘s an amazing piece of software with an amazing team behind it.

Okular.

It just feels right. It took me some time to get used to the vim motions. But man, does it make moving around any project so fast and natural. I went in for the customizability. And that’s obviously there. But the sheer speed it gives me is uncanny. My past self with VS Code could never.

I’d also suggest taking some time to write your own config from scratch once you get the hang of it; it’ll be worth it.
