## System use and management
* [htop](https://htop.dev/), "a cross-platform interactive process viewer".
* An [htop-like utility called bottom](https://github.com/clementtsang/bottom) also got some votes.
* [tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki), a terminal multiplexer.
* Some people mentioned [screen](https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/screen.html), the classic tool in this space, but noted that it's getting pretty long in the tooth and tmux is a pure improvement.
* An [htop-like utility called bottom](https://github.com/clementtsang/bottom) also got some love, as did
* [btop++](https://github.com/aristocratos/btop), another 'better top' variant.
* [HTTPie](https://httpie.io/), a CURL-adjacentish command-line HTTP client for testing and debugging web APIs.
* [Xh](https://github.com/ducaale/xh) is related, described as reimplementing a subset of HTTPie's interface with an emphasis on simplicity and speed.
* [glow](https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow), a markdown-on-the-command-line tool.
* [Lowdown](https://github.com/kristapsdz/lowdown), also a markdown tool, also interesting.

* [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf), a command-line "fuzzy finder" (but take a look at 'z' further down this list.)
* [tldr](https://tldr.sh/) - simplified man pages with practical examples. The world has needed this for a long time.
* [zsh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_shell): A modernized, modular update to Bash with a lot of new utility built in.
** [OhMyZsh](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/) + [Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty): this trifecta of terminal emulator, shell and shell extensions turns out to be a powerful combination.
* [Tree](https://linuxhandbook.com/tree-command/): show you the tree structure of directories, a bit like microdosing on Midnight Commander from back in the day.
* [Broot](https://github.com/Canop/broot): better navigation of directory trees.
* [atool](https://linux.die.net/man/1/atool), a set of scripts that wrap common compressed-file-format handlers.
* [mcfly](https://github.com/cantino/mcfly): replaces the usual ctrl-r shell-history search handler with a more powerful tool, super cool.
* [ncdu](https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu), friend of htop and a nice disk usage display for the terminal.
* [LazyDocker](https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker) and [LazyGit](https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit), CLI improvements for Docker and Git respectively.

* [st](https://github.com/nferraz/st), "Simple Statistics", a command-line app that calculates the sum, mean, standard deviation, and a few other things about a set of numbers.
* [ijq](https://sr.ht/~gpanders/ijq/), an "interactive jq".
* [Datamash](https://www.gnu.org/software/datamash/): Gnu, I know, but an interesting command-line-math tool.
* [Dasel](https://github.com/TomWright/dasel), short for Data Selector, like jq/yq but with more supported data formats.

* [Meli email](https://meliemail.org/): An extensible terminal based mail client; a work in progress, but an elegant improvement on Mutt.
* [z](https://github.com/rupa/z): another "better cd", but a very cool frecency-and-regex-matching "faster/smarter cd".
