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.

SSH being enabled is also known as having “shell access” enabled. It’s generally considered a risk for various reasons, most notably because runaway processes can be an issue.

The current god of file managers.

It’s bloody amazing, and does so much “just right”. I can tell that the author has his head on straight. It ought to be the default in every Linux distribution which uses GTK+.

poweroff

poweroff replaces halt for how I was using it.

I finally took some time to look into why halt wasn’t powering off my computer. This was a very long-standing bug, and it was odd that something so obvious would go unfixed.

SMPlayer is yet another front end for the famous and awesome media player MPlayer. Well, it would be awesome if it wasn’t so UNIX-like that it desperately needed to have a front end made. Still, it’s awesome now that it has a real one.

A frontend for MPlayer.

I use this to supplement VLC
