gnome-disk-utility. Is very easy to mount an ISO file from command line but you can also do it with a simple right-click on file managers like pcmanfm or nemo.

jc. Converts commands outputs into nice JSON.

yay -S jc

Try, for example, with:

df -h | jc --df
free | jc --free

And so on. You don’t have to parse the information with AWK/SED, instead, just pass it to a more powerful command like jq.

Also, the related package jo, which allows to generate a JSON from console.

yay -S jo

My CLI selection:

  • yazi
  • fzf
  • rg.fzf (It seems to me to be much faster than Fsearch)
  • TUKAN
    Note manager with kanban capabilities.
    TUKAN is a modular extension of Fuzpad developed by JianZcar, modfiied by me with the help of Anthropic Claude and ChatGPT. Although it is in Spanish, it has a README in English.
