Since this community is named leftistunix, I thought to open a discussion about UNIX. not just Linux.

    I usually live inside of the terminal for everything except web browsing, but I’ve traded a lot of exploratory file management for nnn as it makes it a little easier. But I still primarily use the quad of cd, ls, cp, mv for movement.

    I’ve had fun trying out the rust coreutils over the traditional ones: bat vs cat, exa vs ls, dust vs du, and duf vs du are the main ones. And fish is a wonderful interactive shell, although I still try to do scripting in bash (even if it usually turns out that I just go to python for it :P ). Also I’ve decked-out my nvim and doubt I could ever use vi unless it was all I had available.

        I really like them! They’re incredibly performative and come with much nicer syntax and output. fd and rg are huge boosts over find and grep for me.

        There’s a reason why so many of these tools have stuck around or been iterated upon. They’re incredibly useful and have never lost relevancy.
