Disclaimer: I tried searching for something like “useful programs”, “useful packages”, “useful tools”, “recommended packages”, etc. Don’t see any posts like that, if this is a duplicate, then it’s not intentional and my search skills have failed me.

Anyway, I was watching a YT video today and the guy launched a cool program in his terminal, I paused to see what he was running. It was btop, of course being new I never heard about it. Then I thought – how many cool tools/packages are there, which people use, but I am not aware of?

So what do you like? What do you install on a fresh install? What are the most useful tools in your belt? What can’t you live without on Linux?

Perhaps I’ll find something useful :)

    Fuzzy search the output from any command. The most commonly used for me is the ctrl + r hotkey for fuzzy searching in my bash history. But I have multiple scripts and aliases that utilize it.
