# Kill-9 recommended computer related things
|
|
|
|
Here's a list of useful software you should install on your computer.
|
|
|
|
# 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](https://debian.org),
|
|
[Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org), [Gentoo](https://gentoo.org),
|
|
[Void](https://voidlinux.org), 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](https.//mozilla.org/firefox) Is the browser I
|
|
use. Remember to [configure](/guides/firefox/) 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](https://git.qorg11.net/dotfiles.git/blob/HEAD:/.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.
|
|
|
|
## Any LISP
|
|
|
|
They're fun to use. Remember to read your SICP.
