Last updated: 2024, Sun Jun 16th at 14:11 CDT
This is a compilation of programs that I have, am, or will be employing. Itβs important to examine official documentation. To make use easier, they will be divided into two categories: Terminal and Desktop. Terminal has both CLI and TUI capabilities, while Desktop is dedicated to GUI. There are some alternatives to almost all of the listed programs that may better meet your needs.
