Whether you’re a Linux user or a Windows user who uses the Windows Subsystem for Linux, these tools will be incredibly useful. Let’s dive right in!”
btop: “First up, we have btop. This is a powerful system monitor and task manager for the command line. It’s more user-friendly and visually appealing than similar tools like top and htop. With btop, you can monitor CPU usage, network usage, memory usage, and disk usage. You can also filter and sort processes, send signals to processes, and change the refresh rate of the interface. Let’s take a look at how it works.” Fuzzy Finder (fzf): “Next, we have Fuzzy Finder, or fzf. This tool allows you to find files in a fuzzy way. It lists all files and directories in a given directory, and you can type in a search term to find matching files. The search is “fuzzy” because it doesn’t require an exact match. Let me show you how it works.” ffmpeg: “Moving on, we have ffmpeg. This tool is used to convert videos, extract audio from videos, change video resolution and frame rate, extract images, combine images into videos or GIFs, and more. It’s a powerful tool for handling multimedia files. Let’s see it in action.” tldr: “Next up is tldr. This tool provides simple, straightforward examples of how to use other terminal tools. It’s incredibly useful when you want to quickly understand what a tool does without having to read through lengthy documentation or man pages. Let’s take a look.” Neovim: “Last but not least, we have Neovim. This is a modern version of the Vim text editor. It’s lightweight, highly customizable, and can be used for coding small to medium-sized projects. Let’s dive into how to use it.”
