One alternative I will never go back on is fish. Sure bash might be better for scripting. But in terms of actual human usage of a terminal, it’s so much better than bash and zsh.
+1. I use Fish as my main shell now. It makes my scripting life so much easier.
At work, I still have to use Bash/Zsh though.
Do you have some example use cases where fish is much better?
tldr is great. I can’t stand --help output that drones on like Proust.
Not just the commands, you can try a modern shell: Nushell.
It takes a while to get used to, but after you get the basics your productivity for querying interactively would increase tenfold!

I’m familiar with some of these, but there are some new tools in there I can’t wait to try out!
Wow I installed almost all of these. Very nice!
Thanks so much op! This is really going to help me out.
What’s the point of colorful ‘ps’ alternative? If you want fancy representation of running processes — you use *top. ‘ps’ is mostly useful in scripts, or in situations where eye-candy isn’t important.
This is soooo cool, thanks for sharing <3
Interesting, but I have no interest in retraining myself when I have tools that already work
Some of them are drop-in replacements. You can create an alias and use the command as before, but you get a better interface (and sometimes better speed as well).
Ive enjoyed btop as a top alternative. I’ll check out gtop too!
I think gtop is deprecated… Oh never mind. Gotop is no longer maintained. I followed gotop, to ytop, to btop. Btop is the best.
Dang, that’s neat!
this is rad as hell thanks for sharing
System Stats look helluva cool, can’t wait to try out
Btop is missing! Definitely the best htop replacement
Fzf will change your life.
Skim is the rusty rewrite.
Is it actually better UX?
equal ux just faster. I have a dropin script:
/usr/bin/sk "$@"
providing/usr/bin/fzf
(same goes for sk-tmux and fzf-tmux)
