A filesystem I use because of checksumming and de-duplication.
Very good, although I’ve had a sketchy history with it. I’ve used multiple versions of it, sometimes mounting the same partition with different versions of it.
I stopped using it because I lost trust in its reliability.
Abandoned by it’s originators, and community-developed.

An init system.. and more.
systemd is a pox on Linux. It has huge amount of dependencies. As it’s critical to a distribution, and it’s folding in a whole lot of code, it’s widely considered unnecessary bloat and a point of attack.

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+.

A VoIP client.
Particularly awesome not just because of it’s spectacular quality, but because it’s free (client and server), and forces all of its users to fix their fucking microphone settings so everyone else doesn’t have to constantly fiddle with their per-user volume.
You can also run your own server “Murmur”.

A light xterm. And it’s actually lighter! Not tabbed.
I got this working with a nice vga font from DOSEmu. See 9×15 versus DOSEMU’s vga font. However, I learned that aterm does not support unicode. It suggested rxvt-unicode, and I got it working with a nice unicode vga font. See Unicode VGA font for that info.
