If you don't already you should get familiar with Aptitude (apt-get). There's nothing like hopping into the command line and immediately installing the piece of software you want.
I like the Clementine music player.
Being able to hop into the command line to process text is neat. You might want to do a toutorial on grep, awk and sed.
Gimp is nice for photo manipulation, I use Inkscape for vector graphics.
Opera is a nice second browser (chrome is a memory hog) it also has built in vpn and Adblock.

Opera is chrome-ish now that they've ditched their old rendering engine :/
(though I'm fairly certain they use a different strategy for managing tabs than chrome that might still be more memory efficient)
Opera is now 360 and there's no way I'm touching anything they're involved in having combated their intrusive software on Windows.
Apt-get and aptitude are different programs that do similar things.
There's also apt.
Right, apt is essentially a human-friendly wrapper around apt-cache/apt-get etc.
darktable is also a very nice and capable photo editor.
