I don’t really care about this, but I do use it occasionally to cut apart videos.
Quite straightforward to use for simple video editing and appending. It took me almost no time to learn.
Good for transcoding and merging audio into video.
I use avidemux_gtk

A password manager.
I found KeePassx while exploring replacing Firefox, and when looking at replacing web browser components. I wanted something cross-platform and open source.
Abandoned 2021-12-09 – official statement
TODO – this is definitely something I want to try, and to replace Screen with.

A commandline file manager, with FTP access.
Particularly easy to use and featureful. I consider this an essential tool, but usually forget it exists.

A boot loader, generally considered less used and less featureful than GRUB.
Although I had used LILO quite a lot in the past, and was doing some interesting things with it, like having multiboots with DOS and rearranging partitions to hide some or change what was primary, I tend to not use a bootloader like that anymore. I expect a distribution to be magical regarding a boot loader.
When LILO breaks, I use boot-repair.

A web browser which is essentially a fork of Firefox. Pale Moon keeps the simpler UI before the astonishingly terrible changes Firefox made.
A very good browser. Newer addons targeting the latest Firefox which are addicted to its new interface will not work with Pale Moon, since Pale Moon lacks that interface. Older addons or proper UI-agnostic addons will work fine.

The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller
In general, this is a wonderful program. A great editor, and it’s quite easy to use.
Unfortunately, it really is for programmers. While I can muddle through everything, I’m not a programmer so it’s extremely time consuming for me to make anything.
