Linux

i keep rhythmbox honestly because it helps me in organizing all my audio and music files and plus i don't have to keep opening the file manager to change the music, i can just press the forward button and it changes track!!

I also replace Firefox with LibreWolf and Brave! I don't do much more than that though; I used to replace GNOME Software with Warehouse, but I eventually found it easier to just remove PackageKit and use Software to install my flatpaks (I still use Warehouse for changing flatpak settings).

Replaced alacritty with ghostty
Fish With Zsh (Fish not being posix got annoying)
The distro am using comes with not too much apps so yeah thats it

• sysvinit with openrc-init
• elogind with seatd

Yes. I run Gentoo.

KDE Neon - I replace the Firefox deb with the snap.

I don’t. I install a distro with sane defaults and get to work.

On Ubuntu, replacing Firefox/Thunderbird snap version with actual deb version.

Bahah as other dude said I don't replace anything cus I'm on arch btw, but I often tend to remove the default web browser whenever i run a vm or somethinf cus base Firefox isn't my thing, its far too dull for me. I rock ff forks like zen browser, librewolf, icecat, and mullvad. Currently on zen.

Arch master race: you don't have to replace defaults if nom defaults are isntalled in the first place and you choose everything our own anyways.

Kinda in the Pop!_OS - NixOS club but Zen Browser here.

Bash with fish and GCC with Clang.

Defaults hehe

I use arch btw

I think one of the few default things I've technically replaced on my laptop right now is Libreoffice's powerpoint software with the OpenOffice one because I am too dumb to figure out how to make it so Libreoffice's powerpoint software doesn't immediately default to every character having basically 0 spacing between each other every time I either make a new document or slide. That, and I can almost never find the right number of points to make the text look good no matter the font.

Also, I do have the Librewolf appimage, but I use it a little less than my slightly tweaked default Firefox install.

Otherwise I'm normally fine with defaults, besides installing gridplayer to watch things off my external HD so I can watch and resize my shows in a way I can't with other video players.

Default terminal -> Kitty

Firefox -> Zen Browser

I didn't see this one yet:

apt -> nala

Though I think it's technically just a wrapper, the colour support and formatting makes things much easier to parse (visually)

First thing I install is git, followed by emacs.

Then I download my init.el and my PC setup is complete.

I replace the <default, slow, annoying to use> image viewer with qimgv, which is ergonomic and very fast.
