There’s gotta be a buncha tools that Clippy into the terminal to say “did you mean ____?” right? Including some new ones where they trained/fine-tuned a language model on man pages?

Interesting it’s not the most popular thing to use a GUI and use shortcuts for everything you want to do while still having the option to click through a menu or wizard for whatever you haven’t memorized. I suppose the power and speed of the command line are difficult to match if you introduce anything else, and if you spend time using a user interface that’s time you can’t spend honing your command line skills.

tar xf things.tar.gz/bz2/etc Should be enough to extract. It can usually figure out the compression automatically.
