So, a while back, I asked you to recommend your favorite #Linux command line utilities.
I got 187 answers, with 3 recommendations for almost each of them, and I sifted through these to land on 12 picks that I either started using myself, or that I felt would be very useful!
So, here are 12 terminal apps and utilities that you recommended:
@thelinuxEXP really cool video!! Really liked it, so I hope you can do more videos like this one or sharing the list of recommendations around so we can check them out! Mire are: lsd as a replacement for ls, and yazi or ranger for file managers in the terminal :)
@thelinuxEXP This is a great video, just watched it from Tilvids. It's nice that you're asking those questions through Mastodon, and also publishing your videos on Peertube. This is an excellent way to promote the Fediverse. 🙂️
@thelinuxEXP xdotool is super neat for making UI control scripts and and exiftool for viewing and altering image file metadata are my favorite little tricks.
@thelinuxEXP I was about to pass over your post but the suggestions are really good, a few weeks ago, I brought my brother to the light side of the force (Linux side of IT) so I will also share with him the video because these tools you mentioned are really useful
@thelinuxEXP I really enjoy finding tui replacements for gui apps for simple things that really dont need a gui. My personal favorites im using right now are nvim for text editing, termusic to manage music, calcure as a calendar, and bottom as a system resource monitor. I hope to find more tui's in the future to replace other things!
