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.

    I tried grabbing it and couldn’t even get it to install. If you have a link to a good install…

        I think the version issues blocked me. I’ve put the toolbox on some of our test systems but dnf seems to be excluded from it. I’d probably have to build it.
