Help with monitor setup
PyGrid was the first one. A command-line solution for X11-based desktop with Python3 installed. It's pretty easy to setup and I strongly recommend.

Looking for a Wayland (Gnome) compatible window placing/sizing tool
I've been using a combination of pop_shell (for window focus{north,south,east,west} keybinds and a pleasing focused window border) and a slightly modified version of pygrid which is a fork of QuickTile to manage sizing and placement of windows for a while. My pygrid setup mimics spectacle or rectangle window placement and keybinds. Essentially I have: ctl+alt+right - Move window to top right corner with 33% screen width and 50% screen height. Repeat cycles 50%,50% and 66%,50% shift+ctrl+alt+right - Same but bottom right.

Sequential and parallel execution of long-running shell commands
A similar tool I highly recommend: https://github.com/justanhduc/task-spooler
At first I thought it would just be a one-off tool I used for one of my projects, not until I discovered later that it has everything I need and became my daily driver ever since.

GNU Parallel, where have you been all my life?
Wow this tool is fantastic, thank you! The UI is very nice and simple. How has this not existed in Unix for 30+ years?
