I 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.

OBS Studio for recording webcam videos along with screen sharing 4. Audacity for audio editing…

I like jq ( https://stedolan.github.io/jq/ ) for this purpose. It's a very flexible tool for filtering, querying and manipulating JSON data, but when run with no arguments, it performs a no-op transformation that just pretty-prints its input.
jq doesn't come pre-installed with every OS, python's json.tool does. So it's always there when you need it, no installation required, which is why I put it the same category of all those classic command-line tools.

(I say this as a professional mathematician, who lives his life in LaTeX. It's fantastic for writing math, and trusting that all the kerning…

jq is yet another bloated syntax to learn and I'd definitely refrain from suggesting it to anyone whos not working with json everyday.
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.

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.
Twenty-five-year Linux user and lover here, and heck, I got a good chuckle out of the guy's comment.
