tealdeer takes up 3.7MB on my system. It's a rust implementation of tldr - simplified man pages with practical examples. If I want to do some common thing with a program I don't use very often, chances are I can type (e.g.) tldr kill and it'll tell me what I need to know.

Wow, thanks. I had no idea something like tldr existed.
gnumeric runs great on any old linux machine - it isn't as sophisticated as Libreoffice Calc but for basic spreadsheeting, it's very fast and lightweight.
gnucash is an alternative to quickbooks for accounting - it's been around so long that it will run on anything and it does the job without sharing your data or bombarding you with ads.
you can always run nmap in the terminal and have some fun with that.
jq for parsing/formatting/manipulating JSON, and its yq wrapper for YAML. Holy shit you can do powerful queries with them.
Or the even faster successor gojq.
yt-dl for videos
and gallery-dl for pictures good stuff
If you have both yt-dlp and mpv installed, you can enjoy watching YouTube videos directly in terminal rendered as text art. Give it a try:
mpv --vo=tct "https://youtube.com/watch?v=BBJa32lCaaY"

- Dialect for translation. Flathub link
- Image Roll for viewing images. It's faster than most image viewers, especially on slow devices. Flathub link
- Quick Lookup for finding the meaning of a word on Wiktionary. Flathub link
Ripgrep is honestly such an awesome tool. Super fast, easy to use, and has built-in support for hidden files and .gitignores making it more flexible than traditional grep.
ledger because I love to know about my money
Nice. I've been putting off for some time trying to find something better than GnuCash or buckling down and writing my own. This looks perfect.
What do you dislike about GnuCash?
