Useful-programs
List of programs I find useful
Serves as a reminder what programs to install after a complete OS reinstall.
To be easier to find and install, many of these programs can be found in the Fedora package manager under the listed names (I suppose they have a similar name in other package managers too). In fact, I found most of these programs by looking through the yum extender Fedora package manager.
