FSearch. That tool has saved me a lot of time at work looking for files. I do organize my stuff, but navigation and recalling my memory takes time, so this is such a life saver since it works fast and very simple. Much like Voidtools' Everything Search, it's a must-install for me.

Lastly, deb-get + pacstall + bauh. All of these combined covers 99% of my software needs, much less need to find and install PPAs and .deb manually. Still not as convenient as AUR, but much better than it was before. Hopefully, eventually everything is on Flatpak, snap, or AppImage so I could just use Bauh for most apps, but for now, I'm glad that these tools exists.
