(1) Vim; text editor.
(2) Tmux; allows me 2 run multiple terminals in one window.
(3) Timeshift; takes snapshots of my machine at certain intervals.
(4) HTOP; overview of the running processes.
(5) NCDU; analyze my storage 2 see what uses up the most. Useful when I am running low on space & I need 2 find out why it's happening.
(6) Timetrap; time tracking tool 4 the command line.

Additional tools:

The “find” command is an amazing utility for scanning through lots of files and reporting which ones match certain criteria. From simple things like matching names against patterns, checking last-modified dates, up to more elaborate content examination using external commands, find can do it all.

Then there is “rsync”, which is a bulk file transfer utility. Good for doing copies of large amounts of data over less-than-reliable connections, since if the connection goes down, simply retry the command, and it will figure out what has already been transferred and resume from there. Also good for doing backups, both full and incremental. And since the backups are just exact copies of the original files, not in any special format, restoration from backup is very straightforward.

I'm loving this Tmux thing, thanks bro... saves you opening new shells constantly, and the save session is reaaally nice.

[dhwaneelkapadia]

your channel and videos are amazing, I love the vibe of the videos, the kinda dark.

0:00 Kalle hiding his hair to stop people asking about his hair routine. 👀 😂

[admiralrodney]

The intro part always impress me. Introduction to content with build-up music background, and finally title, splash screen or whatever when the music is on climax.

[tayloralbrecht]

Your beginning intro is great! Love your content! Keep it up 👍🏻

[RYANKARIUKI]

Hi Kalle I am ten years old and I am a very huge fan!

[Aorce]

Great video @Kalle! I notice you use a lot of different machines (MacBook, Dell XPS, Desktop), maybe a good topic for a future video would be how you streamline and work across your machines on the same project for example. I would also be interested in things like how MacOS vs. Linux vs. Windows in terms of tools and configs you use for each OS.

Great job keep up the good work and content!

[surajpowar]

Kalle, Thank you so much mate. You have made my life easier. Your videos are always informative, but today's video was the best of all. thanks and I mean it.

This video contains a misconception about tmux that can end up biting you in the rear big time:
**tmux sessions are not saved!!**
All they are is independent from the terminal window that it used to view and interact with them. This means that closing a terminal window containing a tmux session will just let the session and all processes inside it keep running. **they are not getting paused!!** They'll act like nothing happened and continue to take up ram and cpu or do disk io. they in no way act like linux hibernation does. This also means that they are not persistent between reboots. If you have unsaved data in a tmux session (even one without a terminal attached to it) and reboot all of that will be lost.

I swear vim's landing page has not changed in at least 15 years or more.

Thank you Kalle, very good tools set! Learn many of them as useful for me, really.

[joaquimmenezes]

Lovely dude ....have beeen a Linux user for 1 year ... u enhanced my experience

[Spectraevil]

For Mac users, I like to keep the terminals separate but still switch easily and have many open. Create a window group as per your choice like, suppose 4 terminals opened side by side. Now when you open terminal your windows group opened with the number of windows n layout etc you had saved. And then easily switch between them using CMD + left/right.

1:48 I’m more used to screen than tmux. Either is useful more for remote-access situations, where you have a single SSH connection into the remote machine, but you want to have multiple terminal sessions.

Legit I love the Linux Contents by Kalle, keel it up!

[ThePharaohsCat]

Nice. Subscribed. After Disk Utility screwed up my partitions, thinking of switching back to Linux. These all give a sense of control and confidence lacking on other platforms.
