Rust Easy! Modern Cross-platform Command Line Tools to Supercharge Your Terminal
Let us start with the terminal itself. Alacritty is a cross-platform modern terminal emulator with sensible defaults. It is GPU accelerated, super fast, and highly configurable. You can use it on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It doesn't have much in terms of a UI, and hence all configurations are done through YAML files. I don't use it as my primary terminal as I love Yakuake too much for all its cool features. We can get most of those features (tabs, split panes, dropdown mode) using tmux and tdrop if really needed. I use Alacrity when I need speed and GPU acceleration. There is an excellent tutorial on using Alacritty with tmux.

ScratchPad terminal doesnt load settings from zshrc/zpreztorc
tdrop is de/wm agnostic and can make most terminals a drop down terminal.
- How do I substitute Kitty as the terminal for the yakuake drop down?

2-minute Tmux Tour
I've been using tdrop for about a year and not knowing how to get rid of the green bar it put at the bottom. Well, now that's fixed and I've learned to use tmux to switch between newsboat, cmus, lf, etc. -TY!

No, seriously, drop-downs like yakuake have saved me countless minutes.
You can also use tdrop to turn any terminal into a dropdown terminal

Using a drop-down terminal (with tdrop) doesn't play well with activities. Any solution?
So it's pretty clear what happens and why. I'm using tdrop, a little tool that allows you to use any terminal emulator as a drop-down terminal/scratchpad. Calling tdrop terminal with some parameters will show a terminal window, calling it again will hide it. I've bound this to a key, let's say HOTKEY.

Fsearch, a fast file search utility for Unix-like systems
Hi, author here.
Likely the most significant benefit is the more powerful query language. For example you can also search by file modification date or size and use boolean operators. https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/wiki/Search-syntax

Bfs 3.0: The Fastest Find Yet
Yes, FSearch is the one I use, but it's not as great, per FSearch's dev:
> However, FSearch doesn't automatically detect changes made to the file system and update its index then. This is on the roadmap (it's called inotify support) but it'll never work as smooth as Everything on Windows, because the Linux kernel isn't particularly good at reporting filesystem changes
https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/issues/26
Everything is comprehensive + instant + always up-to-date, that's so awesome a combo it's a pity it's Windows only

baloo is using 36 GB space, is that normal?
If you don't need content indexing, Fsearch is an alternative. I've been using it for over a year now and it's been working flawlessly. Results are near instant and the db is in single digit megabytes.

Does Linux have an equivalent of MFT on NTFS in Windows?
But AFAIK nothing seems to use this, def not fsearch, they have an open issue - https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/issues/26

Name the tools you can't live without!
Still remember those days of arguing on /g/ where linux longbeards stallman fanboys tried to say how this or that tool was good search... but I dont want to just find something, I want to use it that second, and I want the entire system indexed... after getting some webms to showcase that instant feel it got the message across, though later someone appeared with some dmenu trickery being similarly fast and useful... anyway Fsearch that appeared soon after me is the real deal.
What are some alternatives?
