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.

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.
