I love the chat, it's great to hear what daily drivers use for tools in Linux, but I'm a visual dude. Could you cut to a photo or short demo of the tool while you're chatting about it just so that we can see why it's cool? Keep up the great work, I love learning about new things to try in Linux!
As a linux newbie, this is exactly the topic I have been waiting for. In the past 5 months I have only used the terminal twice, once to remove and reinstall xone, and once to add a path. I have been wondering what I've been missing out on since everyone is so vocal about the terminal. I'm eager to see what magic tricks are out there
I've been using linux for 4 years or so. I've never been too passionate about the terminal. I've learned basic commands, cd, bash, updates. I still prefer a gui for most tasks though I prefer to do my updates and upgrades through the terminal.
@@xiro-ou3yy I suppose that the level of "need" depends on how much of a power user you are. If you never touched the command line on windows, you probably wont touch it on Linux either. The main strength of it comes from the problem solving aspect. I you have a particular problem on windows, you might find a guide with screenshots telling you to open this window, then click that, etc, which becomes unusable when windows changes the UI. On Linux this would be much more of a hassle since there are more UI options than I can imagine, so a command bypasses all of that and becomes a more permanent and universal solution for that particular issue. The fear comes mostly from not knowing what the command actually does, as it is (in my opinion) often impossible to know what a command does just by reading it. In DOS it was more intuitive to me, but that might just stem from the fact that I grew up with it.
@@Phoenixwizard77 The only thing I am afraid of doing with the terminal is updates and upgrades, but that is a result of using Nobara, where Glorious Eggroll has changed things around. I've "bricked" my install once (because I wasn't knowledgeable enough to repair it at the time to restore it) by not using his supplied package manager to upgrade.
Sharp contrast to you I spend most of my time in the terminal. I’ve been using Linux since 1996. My first PC was an IBM XT. The terminal grows on you over time. It’s something that MS (and other OSs worked so hard to depreciate in preference to GUI because they believed that users would only be able to understand ug point click. Not surprising that new users to Linux see terminal as antiquated and alien. If you are a programmer, use vim with Tmux and then boom, no more claw mouse hand, which when you get to my age 65, causes terrible RSI.
I migrated a few years back to write small bash scripts instead of aliases for everything. Gives more freedom how to use (can be executed inside vim), share (gist) and extend them.
I run plex as a deb package. They have really simple instructions on their site to add the PPA and then I set up unattended-upgrades. My plex server is always up to date.
ok matt so windows borked my wifi so i gave up im back on linux, and i got yazi "trying to be a bit more terminal" although i struggle with remembering binds all the time. but yazi is cool, only thing i hate is that i have to use kitty instead of alacritty because of the image viewer but its cool that you can view your photos in the terminal with that.
Try vifm instead of mc. vifm supports image preview in terminal (requires config editing), can mount drives with udisks2 out of the box (:media command) and is extremely configurable.
I like Yazi a lot, but the version in the Tumbleweed repos is SOOO old by now. I don't know if the package is even being maintained or not. So, now I'm back on vifm.

Agree Jay did a great MC instruction. I use it a lot.

that great to hear people often dont belive that you dont really need the term

Micro is my favorite text editor in the terminal too!!
tridactyl mentioned ♥️
also, zoxide and eza are really awesome
Thanks Nate🎉
I migrated a few years back to write small bash scripts instead of aliases for everything. Gives more freedom how to use (can be executed inside vim), share (gist) and extend them.
07:14 I think the reason is because docker runs with root privileges, so it can access any directories and mount them as volumes for the container.
Micro. Fastfetch. Synth-shell prompt. Zoxide. Fzf. Eza. Kitty terminal.
I use a lot of these listed, the only ones i can think to add at the moment are vifm, and tmux.
cool new guy .nice to meet ya. sorry to see taylor go

You use tab to navigate input/output tabs on pulsemixer
We should probably learn terminal work and skills at the same time as typing. Stuck with what we have so make the best of it I guess
Tyler’s link is in the description instead of Nate’s.
Got Nate's Added, thanks! www.youtube.com/@NatePicksTechWorld
Smh. Half of these tools could be eliminated if you guys discovered the Tab key.
Inoreader is my RSS aggregator of choice.
Nate like i3 but he never gives Sway a try. 😅
I also like lsd. I just set an alias for l to lsd -lahF
Tyler moved to Microsoft.
😂
