A nice light terminal emulator. A Unicode-capable version of rxvt.

When I learned that aterm does not support unicode, I went looking for its replacement. It suggested rxvt-unicode, so here I am. See Unicode VGA font for the font I ended up using.

aka urxvt
It is not tabbed, use one of the /tag/terminal-multiplexers (I currently use this one).
- Okay, technically it’s tabbed with the “tabbed” perl extension:
  \urxvt -pe tabbed

There are several pages for it, but I have this one working:
https://github.com/dlitz/xtoolwait

Xtoolwait notably decreases the startup time of an X session by reducing the load on the X server and Linux.

It starts an X client in the background, waits for a window to be mapped on the root window, and then exits. It can improve performance for users who start a bunch of X clients automatically (for example, xterm, xlock, xconsole, whatever) when the X session starts.

Pretty much the de-facto video player on Linux, as it comes with most Linux distributions. It can play both audio and video, and works at the commandline.

Although it’s great, it’s a last resort compared to other audio playing software.

Although it can play without one, the common frontends are:

gMPlayer (GTK+) is the official frontend.
SMPlayer (Qt) is my preferred frontend.
MEncoder is one of it’s tools.

A straightforward but powerful window manager.

Openbox has been my window manager of choice for years now. Over that time, I’ve amassed some significant knowledge which I’ll try to maintain here.
A component of LXDE.
