Replace your Dated 🐧Linux Command Line Utilities with These Modern Alternatives.
Thread🧵↓
1. exa
A modern replacement for ls with coloring written in Rust. github.com/ogham/exa
2. btop++
Modern replacement for top written in C+. Btop++ is a resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network, and processes github.com/aristocratos/b…
3. htop
htop is another modern top replacement.
4. bat
A modern replacement for cat written in Rust. Unlike cat, this tool supports syntax highlighting for many programming languages out of the box. github.com/sharkdp/bat
9. tldr
TL;DR stands for "Too Long; Didn't Read".
tldr is great when you just want to check a few common commands syntax without scrolling through a detailed manpage. github.com/tldr-pages/tldr
11. zoxide
Yet another tool written in Rust. Zoxide is a fast replacement for the cd command. It keeps track of the directories you visit and you can quickly navigate to them without specifying the complete path. github.com/ajeetdsouza/zo…
12. gping
Ping with graph and we're back again to the Rust world!.😄 github.com/orf/gping
14. fzf
Fzf is fast fuzz search tool Guess which language it is written in? Nope, not Rust. It's written in Go. github.com/junegunn/fzf
15. broot
A new way to see and navigate directory trees. I'm beginning to think that Rust is now the god language😄😄. github.com/Canop/broot
15. Glances
Glances an Eye on your system. A top/htop/btop alternative written in Python. github.com/nicolargo/glan…
16. bottom
Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor. Inspired by gtop, gotop, and htop. Guess which language it is written in? You might have guessed right. It's written in Rust. github.com/ClementTsang/b…

The Linux🐧 commands you should NEVER use.
⚠️Disclaimer: Don't RUN these commands.
A thread🧵👇
1. Recursive Deletion🔁🗑️
This is one of the most dangerous commands. Once this command is run, it deletes all the content of the root directory forcefully and recursively. Thus, all your directories and sub-directories will be deleted and the data will be lost.
2. Fork Bomb🍴💣
My personal best😄, this is a simple bash recursive function which once executed creates copies of itself which in turn creates another set of copies of itself. This consumes the CPU time and memory. Thus, it runs recursively until the system freezes.
47. gzip
The gzip command is used to reduce the file size. It is a compressing tool. It replaces the original file by the compressed file having '.gz' extension.
By default the gzip will delete the original files after compressing them. If you don't want the files to get deleted you use the -d option.
Hey everyone👋! I am finally BACK with another Linux🐧 thread!
In today's thread🧵, I will be going over basics commands every Linux user should know !
A Mega🧵 thread
Have grouped these commands so you can easily Identify their usage.
- Linux Manual/Help Commands
- Linux File Commands
- Linux Directory Commands
- Linux File Content Commands
- Linux User Commands
- Linux Filter Commands
- Linux Utility Commands
- Linux Networking Commands
Pro tip💡: There is no need to memorize all the commands options/arguments, just make use of the help menu or manual pages to find the usage of a specific command/option you want.
