Playing around with PeppermintOS on a "new " old laptop, and having fun. Its making me realize that tiny things can really work to impress. (Especially when you’re waiting on a ram upgrade, haha!)

Could be terminal based or GUI, I’m just curious—what tiny apps do you use that you think are neat? Things that don’t take up much storage or memory.

    tealdeer takes up 3.7MB on my system. It’s a rust implementation of tldr - simplified man pages with practical examples. If I want to do some common thing with a program I don’t use very often, chances are I can type (e.g.) tldr kill and it’ll tell me what I need to know.

      tldr - what a great idea! man pages are too detailed when a simple syntax confirmation is needed. tldr ln + man ln == lol
