That's a strange comparison. Guns are really useless unless you like to kill someone. The Terminal on the other side can help you in so many ways. Maybe a big pocket knife with all it's functionality like screw driver, knife, scissors, magnifier, toothpick, ... would be a better comparison.
It's also extremely fast once all of those shortcut keys get into your muscle memory. The only place I have Windows 10 installed is on my work-issued laptop and I find it totally unusable now - I use it for 30 minutes each week for a timesheet app, otherwise all my other work is on a Linux laptop via a web portal. Windows 10 is the first Windows OS to slow down my productivity, it is complete rubbish once you've got used to the terminal.
htop, bpytop, bashtop and glances are all the cli monitoring p*rn you need. Mentioning ranger, don't forget about the awesome Midnight Commander, can live without those two panes.
Nice, I didn't know you could customize htop like that My contributions: - Bashtop is like htop, just looks a bit more fancy - fzf, just amazing. Add the fzf plugin to zsh and get some nice extra functionality also - bat, it's like cat but with syntax highlighting - most, it's like more, but with.... syntax highlighting, you can make it your pager - lsd replaces ls, and gives you filetype icons and colors - fd is faster than find And the most important of all: cowsay Just.... no words :) Not sure those fit in this category, but are also terminal based: pandoc, rsync, rclone, neomutt
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
@Bobby Bologna This is what I aspire to! I'm still a newb to the terminal but I love the lack of distractions that it can afford (and some fantastic distractions of it's own lol, cmatrix -lolcat is pretty!) I hate using a mouse on PC too, feels inefficient to take my hand away from keyboard unless it's for coffee! ☕
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.
My 2 favorite terminal commands of late are.... (1) LSD (a LS replacement) and (2) MICRO (a text editor). LSD color codes file lists with icons showing file types. MICRO is nice because it gives you Pluma-like text editor for the terminal.
pwgen (password generator) and gnuplot (plotting data) are both very useful. As ubuntu user I use screenfetch from the official universe as alternative for neofetch.
5:50 about neofetch If you write "neofetch--ascii_distro " and than the name of needed distro, it'll write a special art for your distro I have KDE and it shows default Ubuntu logo. If I write "neofetch--ascii_distro kubuntu" it will show the kubuntu logo. Or I can just write arch if I want, if you write neofetch --help You'll find more about it, and once found about which distros are avaluable. You can even write andoid or windows (?)
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.
For youtube-dl, it makes the most sense to use pip to install it and to keep it up to date (a new version comes out often). sudo pip install youtube-dl ... sudo pip install --upgrade youtube-dl
Better do it this way: $ sudo curl -L yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl $ sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl maybe you have to install curl first.
I'm a little surprised to see you running the sneakers command and then *not* pressing a key. "sneakers" doesn't *just* display some encrypted text, but if you press a key it will "decrypt" the text live on your screen!
you should have been around for the good 'ol days with gnome2 at its best and the 3d compiz cube! FIrst time I saw that, I deleted my windows box and never went back.
I like cmus a lot. I don't know if it would entirely qualify as a terminal application, but it's a very nice and minimal music player that is sorta controlled from the terminal
Midnight Commander, the two-panel file manager Funny ones: sl (steam locomotive), oneko (cat chases mouse cursor, good for playing with stopping and resuming a process).
A few months back I threw together a Hollywood-like Bash script with the hacking scenes from Wargames running in one window, complete with robotic voice.
My favorite terminal command is Midnight Commander. It should be installed in all distros. It is small fast and lets you easily browse the file system.
I started using terminal stuff since my laptop tend to run out of battery slower when i restrain to just the terminal and its mouse pad was also kinda uncomfortable to use, but at this point im just doing it for the sake of satisfaction of basicaly being able to manage my whole system im the terminal xd
RU-vid-dl was only taken down temporarily because the automated tests used copyrighted videos, all they had to do was to change the videos in their tests.
If you use ctrl-z, that just pauses the program in the background. You can then type bg to unpause the program in the background, and we will see any text it creates in the current terminal, to get back to the program type fg to bing it to the forground. You can type jobs to see the programs paused or ru ning in background. You can pick which program you want back in the forground by typing the job number after the fg command.
after reinstaling linux on other laptop and checking your content I say is coool and is working , off course after sudo apt install hollywood , and other .... but thenx ps . from croatia with love
As a cli file manager I use instead of ranger the old midnight commander, because it has more features and has a lot more options. Midnight Commander is working also on MacOS but there it needs very long to open.
(ncdu) this command is awesome ... I subscribe in your channel because you give me awesome things about linux that I don't know oftenly .... so big thank you .. 👍
In Spanish the word that is commonly used for toxin/venom/poison is "veneno" but there's also the dying word " ponzoña" which nobody seem to remember exist, "toxina" is also the general term
Do you know a good hex viewer (or hex editor, but I only need read-only)? Because the existing ones I could find at a glance all where awful and either couldn't deal with files >2GB or can't decode 64bit numbers and have other stupid design decisions I wrote one myself in the span of a week or so just now (github.com/panzi/rust-hox). It's a bit crappy, didn't clean up the source, and the first thing I ever wrote in ncurses (using Rust), but it does what I want. I wonder if there are good hex viewers/editors I didn't find?
I'm curious, what's the motivation to browse the file system visually in a terminal if you have desktop window system? Feels like it's making terminal do something that already has a better implementation while forgoing what terminal does really well. To get used to terminal? But feels like that's just extra learning that doesn't have a purpose when you're gonna learn to use the actual terminal. Htop seemed cool but I think it actually comes with something and is launchable from the desktop.
You usually do this because you are SSHed into a remote system and you only have the terminal. it's usually very fast and efficient to just work from the terminal when you're connecting to multiple machines. so the terminal tool is very useful. It's less useful when you're on a desktop and only administering your own machine.
Most of the time, ctrl+z does not really kill the process, and it could be still running in background and you are not aware of that. It's better to use ctrl+c or ctrl+d in order to make sure to kill the process
Nice, I am learning how to browse myself in Windows and Linux, in ergonomic and simplistic way. Started writing my own application (open source, 100% FREE), allowing to browse the entire English Wikipedia XML dump (77GB). Can any of these browse huge text files like multi gigabytes long? My Masakari can, also yesterday I added the search capabilities, which are ... well if you are interested will share the new revision 7+...
@@sivaKumar-hd4xe if you are having issues with the very large files, you may want to look into a tool called split. it can split into any size file you want.
youtube-dl can download videos from hundreds of websites. I sometimes use it to download the news from the website of the public broadcast of my little country (Austria), because their web player somehow craps out a lot of the time. The downloaded videos play just fine.
not sure if it interests you or not...... anything youtube-dl can download catt (cast all the things) can cast that to a chromecast, like if you have a smart tv in the living room you get your news on the comfy couch and not infront of a computer
You can use "pv" command to read. COMMAND : pv -qL 20 [ here 20 is the speed ] --------->>>>>> echo "WELL DONE!" | pv -qL 20 --------->>>>>> cat | pv -qL 50 bye the way .........PRETTY GOOD TOOLS AND VIDEO Thank you
8:00 Have you ever tried "speed reading" ? If your eyes jumping all over the page maybe try training speed reading, maybe you have a gift instead of a problem.
