I mentioned this in another post, but tmux is awesome

• ranger and mc - both are file managers, and their approach is so different that I choose one of them I need at the moment depending on what do I want to do (mc for traditional file management, ranger for looking around the directory tree and peeking into files)
• htop, tmux - classics
• weechat, profanity - for my IM needs
• ripgrep - for searching through files
• magic-wormhole for file and ssh public key exchange
• mosh for when the network conditions aren’t ideal
• nmap to see if that machine I’ve connected into the network is up and what IP did it get
• bat for quick looking into files
• gdb, with mandatory gdb dashboard
• nvim for serious text and code editing, micro for more casual editing

EDIT: lemmy changed where this comment went. (BUG)

Ncdu is a really useful little utility that shows you what directories are using the most space on whichever drive/directory you select. Really useful little piece of software.

hdparm is another neato one that let’s you test the read speeds of your drives, though it’s more so something ya use once and forget exists.

Also, though Neovim is more popular, Helix deserves some recognition. It’s a rust based, vim inspired text editor which removes the need to configure it, making it easier for people trying to get into terminal text editors.

Edit: Jerboa removed the first name, my bad.
