From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Love k9s! I just pull dnit down and used it again today.
k9s is a game changer
fzf for quickly matching file names especially deep in the directory hierarchy
ripgrep for quickly searching for text content within files
dtrx for handling the right extractions of different archive types
What is the difference between ripgrep and just plain grep?
ripgrep is a reimplementation of grep in Rust. It benchmarks faster for large file searches and also comes with quality of life features like syntax highlighting by default.
It also ignores files in .gitignore and some others by default
It also has a much simpler and forgiving syntax. Just type rg anything and it finds anything
