Thanks to you, I have finally completely switched to Linux.

I love the terminal its like being naked but with a good gun... is so minimalistic and powerful at the same time.

I'd add bpytop (install using pip), MC (midnight commander - good for left/right transfers), lftp (a console ftp/SFTP/FTPS client which can do things like multi-part concurrent downloading which is a HUGE improvement in performance on networks that restrain single stream downloads). I also use GNU Screen which is great for allowing you to maintain a session and reconnect to it if you time out or get disconnected.

ncdu - my personal favorite utility. glad to see you included it :D

tmux is the one tool I can no longer live without in terminal.
Also, some htop alternatives: glances, bpytop

Had no idea this speed reader app was a thing. Thanks making it known! I’ll use it for my studies as well.

[sheikhshakilakhtar]

Didn't know about ncdu. Thanks for introducing us to it.
My favourite is ranger.

[kaSOSiso]

Cool man. Thank you very much for the ncdu. I barely found out useful program for calculate disk usage.

1. moc - music player
2. z in zsh - for quick navigation to previous folders

[ApolloPTT]

That ranger and the ncdu ... wow! Thanks a lot for sharing!

[sfgspgb]

Wow!! Ranger is so cool! I love it :D it’s so convenient too bc I don’t have to type out the directory or whatever. Usually I open a file manager or whatever and click and drag to get the directory, this is awesome.

Very nice video and useful user comments too! Thanks!

[bobbybologna]

Thanks for this, it's funny I'm coming from a strictly GUI loving windows n00b for decades and I'm now absolutely a lunatic about the terminal, i use it so much now i forgot I had a mouse lol

[johnvanwinkle]
