Tilix is great but also unmaintained.

Gnome Files with Thunar.

It’s the perfect file manager for a user like me.

I also started with Hoary Hedgehog!

I remember getting the pressed CDs in the mail for free. It was my first installed distribution but I remember messing around with a Slax Live CD before.

The only thing I really miss is CAD software for working with BREPs, I wish there was Rhino for Linux. However, I can do like 99% of projects in OpenSCAD.

Remmina is a treasure

GNOME. Love the simplicity!

Always ran xfce on my old used thinkpads!

You can always set watchtower to blindly pull for you. If it’s going to be broken anyways, might as well automate the process.
