I don't think that's right. I set up Ubuntu Server and it started the command line. I'm planning to install Fluxbox, keeping it simple by adding only what I truly need. Yes, I prefer Vim—I always use Vi.
I often try to master quick tricks such as removing the fourth line starting from the 12th character, yet I rarely manage to carve out the time for it.
I mostly rely on a portion of that list, around half, but only a small fraction in everyday use.
vim tmux mps-youtube nethogs ghex irssi plus many other packages that I automatically install with each fresh Linux release.
You can still use standard Chrome for everyday tasks. As they come as deb packages, it’s convenient. Most folks rely on Chrome for streaming services like Netflix. Other useful applications include media codecs, Kodi Media Center, Skype, Kden Live, VLC, PDF viewers (various options available), Kazam, screen recording tools like OBS or vlc, BleachBit, GIMP, Wine with Wine Tricks, Play on Linux, and better audio players. You can also use Torrent clients such as Transmission or Deluge, IRC clients like Hexchat or Quassel, terminal emulators like Terminator, email clients such as Thunderbird or Kmail, burn tools, Discord, Mumble, Steam, and Gparted. Essentially, whatever fits your requirements.
Steam works on Linux too. For Ubuntu, you can use a PDF viewer that comes pre-installed—just check your package manager or search for "PDF viewer" in your system settings.
Are you wondering if he can run some of his Steam titles on a Linux machine? There are more Steam games with native Linux support these days.
