Learn about 5 interesting Linux tools that will help break your dependence on the GUI and keep you productive on the command line.
If you are a Linux sysadmin, you tend to spend a lot of time on the command line. Over the years I have learned to do much of my work without ever touching the mouse. Also, if I open a browser it is just too easy to be distracted. Social media, news articles, and funny cat videos all are designed to suck you in, and it works. In this countdown we will explore 5 things you can do from the command line to keep you productive and break your dependence on the GUI.

It integrates seamlessly with your DE and favourite GUI utilities, has a unique navigate-as-you-type mode with auto-select, disk usage analyzer mode, bookmarks, contexts, application launcher, familiar navigation shortcuts, subshell spawning and much more.
Integrate utilities like sxiv or fzy easily, or use it as a (neo)vim plugin; nnn supports as many scripts as you need!
Alpine Linux-based Docker images are small, but they can still bloat up quickly. If you're concerned about image size, search for alternatives, like Minideb.
When the Docker revolution started, one argument among many in favor of using containers instead of virtual machines was their size. Container images were supposed to be small.
However, several anti-patterns quickly emerged in the early days of Docker. First, most people wanted to treat containers just like VMs, hence they wanted an SSH server in them, they wanted to run multiple processes in them and they wanted their regular Linux distributions.
This quickly ballooned the size of Docker images that could be pulled from the Docker Hub. Official Ubuntu and CentOS images used to be above 600 MB. Once dependencies and application code got added, it was not rare to see several GB Docker images around.
For the longest time I did not know what everything meant in htop.
I thought that load average 1.0 on my two core machine means that the CPU usage is at 50%. That's not quite right. And also, why does it say 1.0?
I decided to look everything up and document it here.
They also say that the best way to learn something is to try to teach it.
Linux offers a number of tools for examining your running processes. With the applications shown below, you can find out which applications are eating all your memory and which files are attached to those rogue programs. Or you can just get a global view of how your system is performing.
Regardless of your specific level of interest, this tutorial will offer you a starting point on that journey.

xclip is a command line utility that is designed to run on any system with an X11 implementation.
xclip provides an interface to X selections ("the clipboard") from the command line. It can read data from standard in or a file and place it in an X selection for pasting into other X applications. xclip can also print an X selection to standard out, which can then be redirected to a file or another program.
Sharing files can be a pain. The larger the file is, the more difficulty it inevitably creates. If you want those files kept private, you're in for a real nightmare. Well, not exactly.
Onionshare is a relatively new application that allows you to share files of any size securely and relatively anonymously over the Tor network without the need for a "midde-man" website. It's completely free and open source, and it's actually easy for anyone to use.
How many times have you repeatedly typed out a long command on the command line and wished there was a way to save it for later? This is where Bash aliases come in handy. They allow you to condense long, cryptic commands down to something easy to remember and use. Need some examples to get you started? No problem!
Autotrash is a command line to automatically purge old trashed files and it never allows your trash folder to grow too big in Linux.
