Cubic Player, now Open Cubic Player, was my audio player of choice back in my DOS days. Officially abandoned under DOS, but renamed to “open cubic player” and further-developed to become multi-platform (Linux).

Rather old, but still awesome.

Most still refer to the overarching corporation as Google, though they are now called Alphabet Inc. and “Google” is their search engine and something of a sub-umbrella brand-corporation.

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+.
