Which Linux command or utility is simple, powerful, and surprisingly unknown to many people or used less often?
This could be a command or a piece of software or an application.
For example I’m surprised to find that many people are unaware of Caddy, a very simple web server that can make setting up a reverse proxy incredibly easy.
Another example is fzf. Many people overlook this, a fast command-line fuzzy finder. It’s versatile for searching files, directories, or even shell history with minimal effort.
That sounds excellent, can’t wait to try it.
Sometimes manpages are frustrating as hell because there are no examples. They read more like the developer making notes for themselves who is already intricately familiar with the program on how it works, rather than teaching someone to use the program.
So many times I’m shaking me head, like please show me an example of a syntactically correct command, what is wrong with you!!
