In addition to the usual suspects of tmux, random window managers + friends, here are the applications I have to install to function

rofi - Fast, phenomenally good launcher

terminator - Terminal that allows splitting, tabbing, and more importantly bonding

redshift - Literally, shift my red light levels by time of day

retext - I write a lot of markdown. Seeing it real-time previewed makes life significantly better for me.

steam - A distraction now and then certainly helps

I’ve struggled for a long time with paper scraps to keep track of what I’ve been doing and read about the following alias to add in your .bashrc

`alias did="vim +'normal Go' +'r!date' ~/did.txt"`

Then type `did` in your terminal and write what you just did.

More generally, you can get a great boost of productivity by mastering your text editor. I have a preference for Vim, but have nothing against emacs.

https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/ is a good tiling terminal emulator/terminator alternative if you're looking for something designed for GNOME 3

For terminator, what is bonding? is that what allows you to send keystrokes to more than one tab simultaneously?
