    Thanks for telling me lol. I remember sharing your enthusiasm when I started.

    If you don’t mind me sharing, here are some tools I use the most in the console:

    • htop: resource monitoring and process killing. Mint has a GUI alternative
    • btop: better resource monitoring, but worse process killing than htop.
    • lazygit: amazing interface for git. Seems hard to get started, but IMO, not at all. There are GUI alternatived.
    • tmux: multiple consoles and console manager. A bit hard to get started.
    • nano: text editor. Reeaaaallly simple to use, prefer it over emacs and vi/vim.
    • grep: you already know this one.
    • cronjobs/crontab: allows you to run periodical commands. Say, a cleanup script all days at 7:08 AM.

    Also, some GUI programs I love:

    • KDE Connect: device pairing with your cellphone and PC. Includes remote mouse input, multimedia control and file sharing.
    • Steam: Almost all the games I play on Steam run flawlessly on Linux.
    • Stellarium: astronomy/planetary app.

    Pick your poison lol. If you don’t mind, we can start talking via ptivate message.
