UncleSpellbinder Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The first thing I do after updating a new install is get the applications I really 'need' to complete the install. Unless already installed by default, I make sure to install the following... AWN Cairo Dock (If AWN is not available) Docky (If AWN and Cairo Dock are not available) Rar/Unrar 7Zip gThumb GIMP Firefox Google Chrome Qbittorrent Gnomebaker VLC SMplayer Openshot PiTiVi (If Openshot is not available) DeaDBeeF Clementine Soundconverter EasyTag Audacity LibreOffice Abiword (If LibreOffice is not available) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lassekongo83 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I run all my "linuxes" in virtualbox, so I don't need that many apps. Just need stuff for designing themes, icons and stuff. After an install of Gnome it's basically just this: pacman -Sy gedit file-roller unrar p7zip unzip gnome-terminal gimp inkscape eog opera yaourt gtk-engines gtk-engine-murrine And then some packages from AUR: freetype2-infinality, fontconfig-infinality, awf Yorak 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleachBit Banshee (Has been causing a few problems in ARCH Linux of late, but can be fixed. It still has the best layout of all Linux Music Players, for me anyway!) That's my list. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
