tlp works with Powertop. From Debian 12's description in Synaptic: TLP is a feature-rich command-line utility, saving laptop battery power without the need to delve deeper into technical details. TLP’s default settings are already optimized for battery life and implement Powertop’s recommendations out of the box. Moreover TLP is highly customizable to fulfill specific user requirements. Settings are organized into two profiles, allowing to adjust between savings and performance independently for battery (BAT) and AC operation. In addition TLP can enable or disable Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi and WWAN radio devices on boot. For ThinkPads and selected other laptops it provides a unified way to configure charge thresholds and recalibrate the battery.

I've been using BTOP for years, but hadn't heard of any of the other programs here, so I'm all for seeing more command line tools. It's often something that's just forgotten nowadays.

A lot of these are very useful! It would be great to find more!

My most used console based tools on a daily basis would be the following: htop - top replacement (but not as cluttered as btop) screen - mainly used to keep long running processes in the background on servers ipython - just for writing code snippets quickly grep | awk | sed - for general string manipulation in pipes vim - text editor git | tig - interfacing with git repos midnight commander - NC like file manager flatpak - jailed package manager find - finding stuff and doing stuff to it ssh - duh. remote access, socks proxies, piped file transfers, etc. So still rather vanilla when tools are concerned. Even though I know there are some improved tools or anything, I do like to use the defaults so I can go at any system without having to install custom stuff.

The coloring is also really good and it's got most popular colorscheme's so all the colors integrate nicely into the rest of your terminal.

Definitely more episodes like this one, thanks.

tldr and thefuck are my most used new cli tools. Like another commenter mentioned, if you mistype a command, you can type "fuck" out of frustration at the terminal and it'll try to give the right command! It hasn't made a mistake yet

Gnu parallel. Don't use it often, but when I have to is awesome. Turns what could have been a script to a line of bash

Tab with atuin... glad you mentioned that. I had installed it, but couldn't figure out how to do anything with it besides running the command as-is. Serious case of tldr...

Great video and great idea, thank you so much Nick!

Probably my favorite command line utility is the text editor “micro”. It doesn’t try to be anything it’s not. It’s a simple text editor, with familiar keybinds unlike Nano.

There's ncdu, a cli command that replaces du without the visual confusion of dust. Fast, simple, and incredbly useful. Can't live without it.

Very interesting video, I would love to see more of them

You should have mentioned that is bad to have two package magnets if you don't know what your doing...

Except nix it,s really strong useful package manager

I don't think people would mind if you did a top 100 list too.

btop is not the only utility with the said interface, just the C++ version of it. Also developed by “aristocratos” and available in various repositories are the “bashtop” (for Bash) and “bpytop” (for Python) commands.

this is pure gold! Thanks a lot!
