How to use neovim as a server?
I use https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum and https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect to restore all my tmux sessions if I reboot my machine or kill tmux.

What is the trick theprimegen is using to search his entire computer from terminal emulator?
tmux-resurrect and tmux-continuum are the utils I use to persist sessions across reboots. They have keybinds and options to make it either automatic or manual, but they save EVERYTHING down to the Neovim session (if you use those) for the session's working directory

Can I save a Terminal window to open on next reboot?
This would be my first go-to: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect
- tmux-continuum / resurrect won't relaunch some cli applications.
- Save tmux environment automatically on exit?

A beautiful tmux setup in 3 minutes

What are some lesser known packages that improve quality of life for you on Linux?
You must use all 3 of: tmux-continuum tmux-resurrect vim-obsession

Why is Tmux better than neovim's built-in terminal?
Sure. Once you log in to the remote Linux machine, just run `tmux` and do your job. When you connect to the remote Linux machine next time, run `tmux attach`, and you will be right where you left off. The sessions will be persisted until you restart the Linux machine (well, or kill the tmux server). If you'd like even more persistence after machine restart, you can also try https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect

Make the zsh Prompt Go Faster
zsh can compile zsh scripts using the builtin zcompile into wordcode. This will have the effect of having faster parsing. The way we use this to get a faster prompt is to explicitly ask zsh to compile certain chunky plugins(think your syntax highlighters and completion plugins) into wordcode.

Finding Terminal Utopia
Lastly, let’s make what commands we’re running easier to read, using zsh-syntax-highlighting. This script (which must be loaded before the zsh-history-substring-search above) will provide syntax highlighting of commands as you write them. This will help you avoid typos for incorrect commands, and make complex commands easier to read.
