Linux hidden gems
| I like Qtile window manager. People usually use awesome and it is cool and all but Qtile is in python and easier to modify. There are occasional bugs here and there though.
| Oh interesting! What do you like about qtile over awesome? I remember trying to use awesome and I kinda hated it.
| i dont use linux but i found an app for windows 10 that stops it from updating i cant remember what its called look it up though
| >>1060169 well, I had a window manager phase a long time ago, so I don’t remember much. Awesome felt weird and old, something like this.

ytfzf, "A POSIX script that helps you find Youtube videos (without API) and opens/downloads them using mpv/youtube-dl". if you have an underpowered laptop these days, it's pretty essential to watch youtube without lags and less RAM usage.

| Tell me about linux software you've found that's not very well known, but pretty good! My picks:
Eza. It's a drop in replacement for ls with much better formatting, more color support to distinguish files and perms better, and nice options for tweaking it to your liking. Hardest part is just remembering to use it over ls.
btop. Alternative to htop with a really cool UI and a lot of info, allows sorting by a bunch of different parameters to find specific things.
