The collection of Linux software I use

It has been more than ten years since 2003~2004 first tried to use Linux on the occasion of the Spring Festival. Especially during the whole doctoral study, we insisted on the study and research work under Linux, and tried a lot of desktop environment, window Manager, terminal program and other application software and scientific software. At first these temptations are useful for learning and familiarizing with Linux systems. However, the ultimate goal of learning the system is to allow it to serve its own learning and work, rather than wasting time on system configuration and bug fixes. Therefore, the attempt to the software is enough. When you gradually form your own set of tool software set to solidify it, adhere to the use of them and continue to improve the proficiency of the operation and improve skills. Below, list the Linux software collections I'm using.
