I publish this verbose list (including model numbers) with the hope that anybody seeking hardware support may contact me. It can be a real pain trying to figure out all the ins-and-outs of getting the full functionality of hardware features sometimes!

Software

Here is a list of some of my favorite software/packages.

gimp Superior open-source alternative to Adobe Photoshop, I think Photoshop is quite worse and lacks basic functionality GIMP has natively had for ages (namely working with floating-point image data).
- darktable Superior open-source alternative to Adobe Lightroom for developing raw camera images, with features for more technical users (choice of debayering algorithms, working color spaces, floating-point image format export, etc.)
htop Like top but better.
openmpi Awesome library and tools for High-Performance Computing
- hwloc OpenMPI Project's Portable Hardware Locality (hwloc), for probing hardware topology. I love lstopo.
stellarium Virtual planetarium software, useful for planning observations and predicting the position of objects in the night sky.
- calcmysky Adds ShowMySky atmosphere model to Stellarium.
