I version control the list of packages I have on my desktop, so you can also see a full list of what packages I have installed at the moment here. Only explicitly installed packages are listed.
Browser extensions
For Firefox I use various browser extensions to make the modern web a bit more bearable.
- Dark Reader*
- Renewed Tab
- Return YouTube Dislike
- SponsorBlock
- Stylus
- uBlock Origin*
- Unhook YouTube
- Violentmonkey
Ones marked with asterisks I also use on my phone with Firefox for Android.
Code - OSS extensions
Code - OSS (aka the open source upstream of VSCode) is my primary code editor, and I have various extensions to improve the experience when working with various languages.
- clangd - C/C++ code completion & more using
clangd
- Cmake - CMake language support
- CodeLLDB - LLDB debugger integration for debugging C/C++
- Lua (sumneko) - Lua language server
- Markdown Table - Helpful extension for editing Markdown tables
- Material Icon Theme - Nice icon theme with a lot of icons for particular filetypes and folder names
- Seti-Monokai - Nice dark Monokai-like theme
Links are to OpenVSX which most open source distributions (Code - OSS, VSCodium) use but all should also be available on the VSCode extension marketplace.
