For telnetting into embedded devices that only come with telnet.
I do that through a tmux session on a Pi, so that can keep logging without me needing to keep a terminal open.

Raspberry Pies are fantastic devices that I use for lots of wildly different tasks. Mostly at work, but at a smaller scale at home too.

Do you really use Lynx as a daily Web browser, or rather as a Web debugging tool?

I sometimes use Links (not Lynx, but similar) to check that some website I am developing does not have accessibility issues, but I would not use it on a daily basis. I used to, several years ago, but it was part of some self-imposed exercise to learn to use more tools not relying on a X session.

I actually do use lynx daily, particularly on my small laptop.

Advantages of lynx include:
* Runs much faster than graphical browsers.
* No distracting images, and no issue of graphics interfering with the content.
* Works nicely with just the keyboard. (Trackpads on laptops aren't that good, so I'd rather avoid using them, and using a USB mouse requires a flat surface.) (Worth noting that I prefer lynx's keyboard navigation, where you move from link to link, to that of links/w3m, which works more like a text editor.)

Where to start, and many I use are my own creations ... but leaving those aside, here is some of what I use.

Audio Editor: Audacity

Browser: Brave (Chrome clone), Comodo IceDragon (Firefox clone), Opera (developer version)

Chat: HexChat, qTox

Compression: 7-Zip

Downloader: Free Download Manager 5

Ebook Editing & Conversion: Sigil, Calibre

Ebooks: Calibre, Adobe Digital Editions, Kindle For PC

Email: Mozilla Thunderbird, nPOPuk

Encrypted Containers: TrueCrypt

File Copying: TeraCopy

Images: IrfanView, Paint

Malware: UnHackMe & Reanimator, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

MP3 & FLAC etc: Mp3Tag, foobar2000, Tagscanner, LAME, FLAC

Office Suite: Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Works, Microsoft Viewers

Partitioning: Paragon Partition Manager, EaseUS Partition Master

Video: Media Player Classic (HC), mpv, XBMC (Kodi)

And a whole swag of others through the years, many of which I still use on the odd occasion, even some of those I have listed only get used on odd occasions. Some like CD/DVD/Blu-ray burning or ripping I rarely do now.

Many of my own creations are used in quite a few of the above categories, as supplementary, but especially related to ebooks and games and music. Often my programs are frontends (GUI) for command-line programs (such as gogcli.exe by Magnitus for downloading GOG games, as well as cataloging assistance).

For most stuff, I tend to use the default Ubuntu installed software. I'm not very demanding on that regard.

I use gogcli (client tool I developed) to backup my game collection, a ssh tunnel utility I developed for tunneling and my employers' vpn client.

The more involved dev software I install:
- VScode as the editor
- golang
- Qemu/Kvm/Libvirt for virtualization
- Docker for containerization quickies (contemplating eventually switching to something else, but I'm not in a hurry, very knowledgeable about Docker and it does the job)

Dev binaries I stick in a bin path under my home directory:
- minikube for local kubernetes deployment
- kubectl, kustomize and helm for my kubernetes local troubleshooting
- terraform obviously
- rclone to troubleshoot a quicky before I automate something
- coredns to troubleshoot a quicky before I automate something
- etcdctl to troubleshoot local etcd clusters
- goreleaser to troubleshoot go binary releases
- mc to keep tabs on minio, command line style
- prometheus to troubleshoot a quicky before I automate it
- vault to troubleshoot a quicky before I automate it
- protoc to generate grpc code

Overall, I keep things minimalist on my local machine. I like to think of my local machine as cattle, not a pet.

I dislike installing complex software. I absolutely love self-contained binaries and like containers and virtual machines.
