Operating system

If you got up into kill-9.xyz is because you know how to install an operating system. If you are using Windows/MacOS Install GNU/Linux.

Recommended distros

I highly recommend Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Void, and any other distro that does not use systemd (Debian and fedora use systemd. But it's forgivable since they're the best distros) I do not recommend distros based on other distros (i.e Ubuntu)

Software

I'm not a moron. All the software can be installed on your distro's repos. Try RPM Fusion if using fedora. If you use Gentoo. I guess you know what's a ./configure

Now that you're using a real operating system there's some software you should use:

Web browser -> Firefox Is the browser I use. Remember to configure it.

Pandoc

Pandoc is an universal any markup language to any markup language converter (Kill-9 uses Pandoc to convert from Markdown to HTML)

Usage is very simple: pandoc input.md -o output.pdf And that converts from markdown to pdf. It can use beamer and other stuff. Be sure to check the manual. LaTeX options can be passed in yaml at the top of the document.

ffmpeg

ffmpeg is just a simple as shit video transcoder

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.mp4

Emacs

Emacs is the "text editor" that I use. But it can do much more than just editing text. It has its own programming language (Emacs lisp) so you can do mostly anything with it.

urxvt

Sucks less than gnome-terminal and st. Configured using Xresources. check out my .Xresources

i3wm (or i3-gaps) (or dwm)

It's a tilling window manager (which i use) it is highly configurable. They say that you shold dwm instead. but they're basically the same thing. So use which is better for you

Programming languages

Perl

Perl is my favorite programming languages. It is the less bad listed in harmful/software. Pretty nice to use. It rocks for text management and web stuff (php's father)

C

The legendary programming language everyone should know.
