I just installed Lubuntu

What are some essential programs?

Install Gentoo

Screenfetch

Arch linux, you might need to uninstall lubuntu, but it will be worth it in the end.

I don't have time for Arch. Maybe I'll try temple, but that's all for few weeks.

steam for muh games

Install Xubuntu

build-essential
Pulse audio
Logisim
Libreoffice
Gvim
Wine
Mpv

unity

You misspelled vim

If you have time for this thread, you have time for Arch.

i3wm and emacs

Delete this shit

Why do people prefer Xubuntu over Lubuntu? It's literally the same thing, minus extra resources.

>gvim

Time to grab some popcorn.

What do you need OP? There is literally thousands of free packages and I could recommend so stuff like Anki to learn through flashcard, Calibre to read and convert any type of ebook like epub or mobi, Kodi to watch series listen to online radio etc, Liferea to read online news and even latest videos from youtube, Krita to draw some stuff, GThumb to order and watch your pictures, and that is from the top of my head.

Using it at the moment.
I'd go with
mpv
GIMP
qbittorrent
cmus
vim (or just stick with nano idk)
redshift-gtk
