Another good productivity hack is having a good clipboard manager.
I highly recommend Green Clip: https://github.com/erebe/greenclip
You can assign custom shortcut keys to pull it up and it can fuzzy search through your clipboard items.

#82I do my development work and run most of my agency (with multiple employees) with Linux. For some of the business things that most people don't assume Linux can do, I use: 1. Xournal to annotate PDFs (aka sign contracts without printing them and scanning them back). 2. LibreOffice of course for most document related work 3. OBS Studio for recording webcam videos along with screen sharing 4. Audacity for audio editing…

#83I feel that most of the tools mentioned here are quite outdated already and in 2019 alternatives should be recommended. find -> fd grep -> ripgrep wget/curl -> httpie awk/sed are just horrible to learn for beginners, would advise to just pick up python instead via xonsh[1] or pyp[2] How about we don't teach new users these legacy tools and we can finally progress a little? 1 - http://xon.sh 2 - https://github.com/hau…
awk is much better than a full programming language for doing simple text manipulation. It needs no preliminaries like loading libraries, setting up the environment, etc. It is just a single purpose tool to manipulate text with minimum fuss.

this analogy works on a deeper level than you think because you can make some really great vegan meat replacements although the majority of people just stubbornly refuses to believe we're there yet
vegetarian meat (usualy from industrial satay, made with dissolved soy in whatever chemical bath) is what drives me away from pretty much every vegetarian/vegan place. this is why opensource that is just a cargo cult to copying even the bad decisions of commercial software harms more than help. id be fine tasting a nice indian meal made with vegetables. but instead I get gnome changing the side of the window close bu…
This makes no sense. Gnome has its buttons on the same side as Windows. You are probably thinking about ubuntu which patched gnome to move the buttons to the left.
And even ignoring that detail, the side the window buttons are on is entirely made up. Windows isn't the real OS with OSX as the fake windows clone. The gnome philosophy is to support a minimal number of configurations but to make sure they are all tested and work perfect. Other DEs allow full customizability but I have found them to be buggy.
How many desktop environments actually let you switch the window button side? I haven't seen one, and if you know one, why are you using gnome instead of it?

#86The python utils section missed the very cool json.tool that can pretty print JSON files (and exists on your OS if it includes Python): cat /tmp/foo.json | python -m json.tool https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#module-json.tool
Firefox has quite a nice interactive JSON viewer, built in.

This sort of sounds like a vegan/vegetarian telling me that the veggie chicken tenders taste a lot like regular chicken tenders.
Maybe I should have just downvoted and left it at that, but it's late at night, so here goes.
How exactly do you think a comment like this contributes to the discussion? Someone posted a list of tools they use. You reply with this. The world would be better off without this type of information-free negativity.

KDE does. And Gnome used to.

Kinda like this guy except I use google apps for documents and sheets, VSCode for an IDE and...
I boot Win10 for Steam games, Fusion360 and AutoCAD.

#90The main thing I miss from OS X is Droplr (pain free sharing of annotated screenshots) and Jumpcut (pastebuffer history tool). Can't find anything on Linux for either of those that works nearly as well. I can still go to an old Mac for occasional needs like Final Cut Pro but those are tools I used several/dozen of times every day before. I'm on PopOS.
Have you tried Flameshot for screenshots?
