What are your must have linux programs? - Skullmeat - 02-23-2017

So I recently installed Debian on my laptop, and want to know what programs you guys cant live without, as I'm actually giving it a serious try and want to make my experience more enjoyable. Right now I feel like a tourist.

i3-gaps - window manager, productivity of i3 but with moar ricing power
rxvt - terminal emulator of my heart
zsh - best shell no exceptions
wget - downloading files
curl - also downloading files
vim - CLI editor that doesn't really count because it already comes with all *NIX systems
gdb and gcc - compiling all the things
firefox (preferably nightly or dev) - best browser but it's a bit slow sometimes
metasploit - im elite, mom
nmap - port scanning
hping3 - packet shenanigans
wireshark and webscarab - more packet shenanigans
tor - reasons
gimp - image editing
libreoffice - Office for FOSS nerds
python - so i can into python

But Arch is better than Kali Linux and you can setup other tools yourself....
I use a lot of Kali tools on Windows and Arch Smile
