Is this a bait? Not every Linux user uses meme minimalist WM.

I want to pet that kitty, badly.

vim, r-base, and groff.

GNU coreutils

clang, clang++, lld (replace ld with lld. It makes linking so much faster, you won't believe it), cmake-gui, dtrx (for just unarchiving shit without needing to remember which program and which damn flags you need), pv (pipe viewer, drop-in replacement for cat that shows progress)

Zenity with winetricks
Any script to lower your screen brightness to borderline zero

>packages
You are doing everything wrong.

Alpine doesn't have it and this pretty good.

>scrot
I just use flameshot

This.

Alpine has coreutils, retard.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Why's that? Now you got me curious.
Nah, I'd rather use scrot and create a keybind to use scrot everytime I press prtsc. Much more useful imo

i want to boop his smol cade nose

you can also bind flameshot to a key though...
