Vim is more like a language than an editor. It takes a little time to really get the hang of 'communicating what you want the editor to do with the text', but once you do anything and everything text related becomes blazingly fast. Not for everyone because of not only the learning curve (learning various commands is only the beginning) but also the practice involved in mastering it to the point where you pretty much do it without much thought.. That takes some time.
@OpenEnjoyer it's a hell of a lot more straightforward that's for sure. And I do use nano 99% of the time as I generally use vscode for programming so the only time I'm editing files in the terminal is when I need to make minor edits which nano is perfect for. However, vim and neovim in particular, is objectively a more advanced, more feature-packed, all-around *better* program. It's essentially a customisable IDE in the terminal. That said, if nano had syntax highlighting I'd probably personally never use nvim at all.
I ditched Windows in 2014 starting with Ubuntu as my daily driver before switching to Mint. I don't recall when, but it's been some years. I've checked out many distros over those years and considered myself not unfamiliar with terminal usage, but a few weeks ago I took the dive into Arch. Now I get what it means to be an "active" user. Arch has proved to be something of an frustrating addiction than a fun hobby interest which makes the word "user" seem that much more apropos. Your videos have become one of my resources and I appreciate it. That's really all wanted to say. Dunno how it turned into a whole paragraph. I watch other people's videos and haven't said peep. Anyway... Thanks man! You "go ahead" and keep doin' what you're doin'. I'm gonna "go ahead" and watch more of your content right now. 😊

Dude, I've literally learnt so much watching your video's tonight, been taking notes... :-D Practical and fun stuff great combo, lolcat and ascii-image, through speedtest, neofetch, etc. Software and comparisons, tempted by Zorin from my Mint... Cheers.
Based on this video and the predecessor, I installed bat (which I'll probably use primarily from now on), ncdu (gdu wasn't in my repository), and neofetch (cpufetch was unnecessarily detailed for me). Thanks for the tips!
Awesome video ... some stuff I noticed within CLI apps ... gdu and ncdu are 2 cli apps doing exactly the same thing. Instead of lsd I would personally recommend a tool written in rust, called exa (a lot more functionalities)
just for my own info, following (from comments too) are available on msys2 (windows) as well: * std:out concats: cat, bat, -lolcat- * cpu info fetchers: neofetch, fastfetch, -cpufetch- * disk usage analysers: ncdu, gdu * list files: lsd, -exa- * file manager: nnn Following are not: * process monitoring: -top- , -htop- , -bpytop- * image viewer: -sxiv- * -speedtest- * -jp2a-
if u are too lazy to copy paste you can just pipe it and that wud usually even store the colors so u can just do cat "file.png.txt" for the converted thing! Thats how i got neofetch for the pihole
tmux is the bomb. The most common use case is for headless servers (hosted virtual machines and the like) where you only have ssh access. Even without using the tiling features, you can open up multiple terminal windows and toggle between them over a single ssh session. You can also disconnect from the entire session and reconnect later with all of your windows still in place. Awesome for running servers and the like.
@@StupidusMaximusTheFirst I used screen for years and then I found tmux and realised I’d been missing out so much. Like someone had been hiding a secret from me :-)

use can use exa instead if lsd
I use bat if you have view built-in each OS doing that job
How do I install bat?
after installing lsd there is one more usefull command added by lsd that is l command. and it is combination of ls -lh with lsd.
did you edit this video on linux? if so, what video editor did you use? i was looking for that blur feature like in 13.17
Where can we suggest you more tools ??
Great video, @TechHut!
About lsd, how do it compares to exa?
simpler
convert utility in imagemagick can be simply used as 'convert'

the moment you realize the day of the month is missing from the lolcat output of 'cal' ...
