Here is my list:

  • pdf - pdftk
  • images - imagemagickutilities
  • audio/video - ffmpeg
  • documents - libreoffice --headless mode, also pandoc
  • download files - wget and curl, also ytdlp for youtube, reddit

  • Resizing images: mogrify (part of the imagemagick suite)
  • ffmpeg
  • pdftk is king for rotating/cropping/appending pdfs
  • LaTeX everything
  • make/shell - to script/automate image and document editing
  • pandoc is reasonably good for many things
  • latex2rtf - to get plain text for word counts out of LaTeX source
  • wc - word count, line count
  • ispell -t - does spell check in the terminal. The -t is so that it’ll mostly ignore LaTeX commands in the source

I’m sure there’s more but I don’t memorize them, they kind of get remembered when I need them.

Your list looks like what I’d write anyway, so just commenting; ^ That.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
