Nice tutorial, so can we assume you like endevaros :)
You should probably do a comparison between manjaro vs endevaouros, ease of use/ install/responsiveness/battery etc (XFCE version and both fully upgraded to latest). Thanks
You are missing the lsd link in the discription - in its place you copy-pasta'd the bytop one. The proper vid id is 6MlOaZ_KgxA :)
Screen is great
lol why you would use bpytop over btop.. wich is c++
intentionally using slower language seems mental illness to me... :D
OK, you got me with LOLCat :)
Him: clicks in a button in the terminal. 9:30
Me: 😮😮😮😮
lol same
Thanks man these are just golden! Coming back to Linux after 10 year freak is just blast! There is so much cool stuff to do just using terminal. Feeling that I that now when I am older I learn everything much better and It is very cool to find out new things every day.
Dude, I've literally learnt so much watching your video's tonight, been taking notes... :-D Practical and fun stuff great combo, lolcat and ascii-image, through speedtest, neofetch, etc. Software and comparisons, tempted by Zorin from my Mint... Cheers.
Thanks very much man, I haven’t heard of a lot of these despite using the command line for 15 years. I’m going to be using all of these!
Low-key flexing with that 500+Mbit/s symmetric upload/download ain't we? ;)

Thank you very much for this tutorial!
Thanks for displaying you preferences. Tmux is awesome but I do recommend terminator also. Thanks && good luck!
I know this is older, but I found it VERY informative and educational! Thanks!
I really enjoyed this videos, very nice!
First time stopping by - good job! BTW: you could start a competition to count the number of times you say "...go ahead and ..." just sayin' ...I gave up after a couple of dozen! Maybe that's a merch idea ... a mug that just says ...'go ahead' ... Your'e welcome! Still liked the vid, thanks!
gdu is awesome, I had never heard of that before, thanks!
Love these! Thanks!👏
Awesome video ... some stuff I noticed within CLI apps ... gdu and ncdu are 2 cli apps doing exactly the same thing. Instead of lsd I would personally recommend a tool written in rust, called exa (a lot more functionalities)
lsd is also written in rust
you should start a "go ahead" counter on all of your videos, you say it constantly XD
I’m going to go ahead and give a thumbs up to your comment
Wow, that's great, thank you!
Based on this video and the predecessor, I installed bat (which I'll probably use primarily from now on), ncdu (gdu wasn't in my repository), and neofetch (cpufetch was unnecessarily detailed for me). Thanks for the tips!
> _"ncdu, gdu, neofetch, cpufetch"_
thanks a lot for mentioning these all.
many of these are available on msys2 (windows) as well
Vim is more like a language than an editor. It takes a little time to really get the hang of 'communicating what you want the editor to do with the text', but once you do anything and everything text related becomes blazingly fast. Not for everyone because of not only the learning curve (learning various commands is only the beginning) but also the practice involved in mastering it to the point where you pretty much do it without much thought.. That takes some time.
Nano IS just better bro
@OpenEnjoyer it's a hell of a lot more straightforward that's for sure. And I do use nano 99% of the time as I generally use vscode for programming so the only time I'm editing files in the terminal is when I need to make minor edits which nano is perfect for. However, vim and neovim in particular, is objectively a more advanced, more feature-packed, all-around *better* program. It's essentially a customisable IDE in the terminal.
That said, if nano had syntax highlighting I'd probably personally never use nvim at all.
Your "honourable mentions" are actually useful...
Very handy. Thank You
gdu is a lifesaver, thanks for this awesome video
Just started watching your videos so I can learn more about Linux. It's nAllice to see somebody else that went to EWU.
cool video, im a new linux user and these videos are awesome.
Great video. Thanks
Great tips. I'm now using GDU to keep my remote Ubuntu server as lean on logs and generally junk to allow free space to do what i want to 🙂
I ditched Windows in 2014 starting with Ubuntu as my daily driver before switching to Mint. I don't recall when, but it's been some years. I've checked out many distros over those years and considered myself not unfamiliar with terminal usage, but a few weeks ago I took the dive into Arch. Now I get what it means to be an "active" user. Arch has proved to be something of an frustrating addiction than a fun hobby interest which makes the word "user" seem that much more apropos. Your videos have become one of my resources and I appreciate it. That's really all wanted to say. Dunno how it turned into a whole paragraph. I watch other people's videos and haven't said peep. Anyway... Thanks man! You "go ahead" and keep doin' what you're doin'. I'm gonna "go ahead" and watch more of your content right now. 😊
Gotta ditch Windows by 2025 per the Windows 10 expired Date
@@undocumentedrussian Why wait? You won't regret it. Try out the various distros in a virtual machine until you figure out which flavor of Linux is best for you.
LOLCat I love this thing so much!
Thanks for your information
Nice video bro 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Another great app in the Imagick stable is Mogrify. I use "mogrify -format webp -background white -density 72 -quality 35 -resize 80x105 .pdf[0]" to get thumbs for the RasPi foundation magazines.
lolcat - love it :)
I first used Midnight Commander back in the late 90's when I first started playing with Linux because I didn't know any commands and it is still the first util I install on any new distro I setup. 😀 It's kind of a happy place.
bat command is so useful, I only knew cat before.
wait till you hear about cow
And batman :-)
@@mr.norris3840 You means the cowsay? LoL
@@billeterk LMAO
@@xzdemo1707 cow is so yesterday already, I use pig now
Nice video... Though I'd prefer fileflight over gdu 5:36
Take a shot every time he says "Go ahead"
Please don't actually do this... you'll probably down the whole bottle by the end of video 🤣
Thanks!
Which keyboard you are using ? , Those blue highlighted keys caught my heart 🍅 . Thank you .
muito bom vídeo, obrigado
I use speedtest under WSL, and it's a great little utility.
Alternatively for windows there's ookla speedtest in the MS store. And through winget there's Ookla.Speedtest.CLI for the CLI version.
Also try fzf, ripgrep, exa, fd, duf and neovim ... some of my fav modern linux CLI apps
Fzf+nvim+tmux = ez life
Can you make a video on a good configuration for ranger? I like it but have been having troubles with enabling previews for all file extensions
Thanks, appreciate it. As constructive criticism pacman/apt etc install nameofprogram would had been ultra useful.
Cool!!!
did you edit this video on linux? if so, what video editor did you use? i was looking for that blur feature like in 13.17
just for my own info, following (from comments too) are available on msys2 (windows) as well:
* std:out concats: cat, bat, -lolcat-
* cpu info fetchers: neofetch, fastfetch, -cpufetch-
* disk usage analysers: ncdu, gdu
* list files: lsd, -exa-
* file manager: nnn
Following are not:
* process monitoring: -top- , -htop- , -bpytop-
* image viewer: -sxiv-
* -speedtest-
* -jp2a-
lolcat I'm in love 😍
Unrelated to the video, but I noticed you switched distros from Manjaro to Endeavour OS. Any particular reason why, and how is Endeavour OS compared to Manjaro? What's different? I recently switched to Arch Garuda Dr4gonized Gaming Edition and absolutely love it for many reasons, but it has a few hangups that have left me thinking about swapping distros again.
So your production distro is now Endeavour OS? Hows it going with that and would be interested to know why this is your preferred? Thanks :)
Love lolcat.
🇻🇪 GRACIAS POR SUS MUY ÚTILES Y BUENOS VIDEOS⏩🌎
Thank you. I setup my .tcshrc so that all my commands are automatically pipe lined to lolcat.
The world is kinder and less bad now.
if u are too lazy to copy paste you can just pipe it and that wud usually even store the colors so u can just do cat "file.png.txt" for the converted thing! Thats how i got neofetch for the pihole
tmux select-pane -P "fg=#00FFFF"
You can replace the GD hex color with any and it will color that pane which is nice for when you have multiple.
Great video, @TechHut!
About lsd, how do it compares to exa?
simpler
Nice
You forgot the links in the description
tmux is the bomb. The most common use case is for headless servers (hosted virtual machines and the like) where you only have ssh access. Even without using the tiling features, you can open up multiple terminal windows and toggle between them over a single ssh session. You can also disconnect from the entire session and reconnect later with all of your windows still in place. Awesome for running servers and the like.
Yeah, tmux is better than the old 'screen'.
@@giannismentz3570 I used screen for years and then I found tmux and realised I’d been missing out so much. Like someone had been hiding a secret from me :-)
I use bat if you have view built-in each OS doing that job
after installing lsd there is one more usefull command added by lsd that is l command. and it is combination of ls -lh with lsd.
bat command is really good
convert utility in imagemagick can be simply used as 'convert'
nice
the moment you realize the day of the month is missing from the lolcat output of 'cal' ...
From Neovim to Vimium, Vim has taken over my PC.
BTOP is a lovely app...
What is the dockbar you are using called? I see you use GNOME apps but there's no top bar and you just have the dock-like bar in the bottom of your screen.
How the hell did you get your dock to look that good. Is that the default xfce dock?
Never heard about ascii-image-converter. Meanwhile I was stupidly trying to use jp2a on PNG files.
That's an impressive number of times to say "go ahead and"
personally the exa cli-tool is even a better alternative, my humble opinion, than lsd
use can use exa instead if lsd
Do apps u use on Linux distros
I think the most important terminal command is lolcat.
Really like btop
Tmux I use to keep a remote ssh terminal open whilst able to close local terminal and turn machine off. Very useful.
What dock is he using? Is it plank with theme? Please give me the link.
Where can we suggest you more tools ??
Missed the most useful command *zoxide*
FYI, it's a cd replacement that works 1000 times better than the traditional `cd` command
Idk much about this, could you explain how it is 1000 times better than cd command?
@@Akarsh- It's z made in Rust, it tries to match the string parameter with the most frequently navigated directories. Suppose you often navigate to /home/myself/some/random/tree/structure instead of typing the whole path you can do z structure and you'll go to that directory. I used it for some time, but if two paths are similar and you use them both regularly it can't understand where you want to go and there is a high chance you'll go to the wrong directory. Since I already have auto completion in the terminal it is pretty useless imho
Try tilde with gpm.
Ah, you're over in Eastern Washington. Northend of Seattle area here.
bpytop has been rewritten in C++ and it starts up much faster
Yeah, was about to say. It's super light-weight now. Even on my 11 year old netbook.
byobu is a nice leveled up version of tmux
funny how the name ascii stuck for so long. back when it was a recent thing everyone was already using utf-8
I use nano as well, its always there.
ffmpeg is awesome! Note that there is a ffmpeg hall of shame for those who violated the ffmpeg's license.
tree and mtr are good :)
What's the difference between bpytop and bashtop?
I tried piping ascii-image-converter into cowsay, didn't work out, yet.
🎉🎉
my fav channel avout linux
bro can you make a vid on how to install openRGB visualizer for manjaro Gnome 40.3 im stuck on it .
i dont know what im lacking but the software is installed , but i can seam to make it work. what my goal it to make it like what i does in windows, when im playing music my razer keyboard should play it , visualizing the beautiful lights of music in my keyboard
Try to start it from terminal with sudo if it doesn't find devices.
Hello my ginger friend.🖖
do you really have to use the magick in front of the convert? I've always used it as convert ..., no magick before that.
You could use a symbolic link if you don't want to put magick in fornt .
@@xrafter no like we don't need to ... it's already done by default, right?
@@arkoprovo1996
Well using symbolic links yes it happens bu default either by the package maintainer or someone else
@@xrafter maintainer I guess.
convert -h includes this line as output
Usage: convert [options ...] file [ [options ...] file ...] [options ...] file
what is that keyboard you have?
Preference on ncdu or gdu?
Time to alias cat with bat, and ls with lsd
Dude! You need to cut on “go ahead” thing.
Go ahead and go ahead
ahead go
VIM may be quick and extendable, but I definitely wouldn't call it easy to use for beginners.
