<p dir="auto">The whole list of "top 10 best Linux apps" is already nonsensical. But just wait until I go one-by-one.</p>
<ul>
<li>Vim - Honestly, a bit heaver-weight than I'd like. The customizations I do are quite minimal and mostly involve turning features (like autoindent and syntax highlighting for instance) <em>off</em>.</li>
<li>Nechet - Never heard of it. Does it actually exist or is the name "Nechet" an hallucination? I can't find anything about "Nechet" on DuckDuckGo. And the description in the image under "Nechet" mentions "nmap"...? Searching "nechet nmap" yields no useful information. I think "Nechet" is the Madthumbs equivalent of "covfefe".</li>
<li>Htop - Yeah, pretty good and useful app I use on a fairly regular basis. Not as often as I used to have to use Task Manager 20 years ago when I primarily used Windows.</li>
<li>Ranger - Never heard of it until now, but at least this one exists. I really don't think it belongs on a "top 10" list. I've heard of Midnight Commander, but I've never felt the need to use it.</li>
<li>Curl/Wget - That's two apps, both of which are incredibly useful. In my day job, I maintain an extensive RESTful API, and I prefer Curl over Postman. When downloading attachments from the web, all else being equal, I prefer Wget over my browser.</li>
<li>NCMPCPP - Again, never heard of it until now, but it does exist. Sounds pretty cool. Maybe some day I'll have a reason to use it.</li>
<li>BAT - Never heard of it. Looks like a CLI syntax highlighter. Not that the description in the slop image would tell you. WTF does "The only thing pretty pretty in pretty in my CLI" mean?</li>
<li>BTOP - Never heard of it, but it looks like it's kindof "yet another TOP/HTOP clone". Why have both this and HTOP in the same list? It's just slop. That's why.</li>
<li>TMUX - Yup. I've used it, but it's a little too heavy for my taste. I prefer dtach for CLI detaching/reattaching functionality. It's been a long time since I've used a terminal multiplexer, but I liked DVTM the last time I used such. Dtach and DVTM can also be combined to get mostly everything TMUX (or screen) supports.</li>
<li>SSH - Likely the one app in the list that actually most belongs on a "top 10" list.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Clearly Madthumbs didn't give a fuck about the content of his posts. He's apparently the sort of person who copy/pastes shit out of an LLM and takes credit.</p>
