I've been using Linux for a week , and i'm starting to like it

• glances

  101 24,869 9.5 Python

  Glances an Eye on your system. A top/htop alternative for GNU/Linux, BSD, Mac OS and Windows operating systems.

If you want insane, take a look at Glances.

• guix

  48 270 3.5 Scheme

  Read-only mirror of GNU Guix — pull requests are ignored, see https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/en/guix.html#Submitting-Patches instead (by guix-mirror)

  

Guix System too, it's nice.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• TimeShift

  142 4,441 4.7 Vala

  Discontinued System restore tool for Linux. Creates filesystem snapshots using rsync+hardlinks, or BTRFS snapshots. Supports scheduled snapshots, multiple backup levels, and exclude filters. Snapshots can be restored while system is running or from Live CD/USB.

I would highly advise installing timeshift for making backups. There have been times where I thought I was doing something benign and I basically screwed something up major. Using timeshift you can easily revert back and it saves you from so much pain

• nixpkgs

  973 15,656 10.0 Nix

  Nix Packages collection & NixOS

  

Franck Nijhof is a douchebag.

• bottom

  81 8,850 9.3 Rust

  Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor.

If you like htop, you're going to love [bottom](https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom) or gotop

• gotop

  14 2,630 0.7 Go

  A terminal based graphical activity monitor inspired by gtop and vtop (by xxxserxxx)

If you like htop, you're going to love [bottom](https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom) or gotop

• btop

  102 16,189 9.3 C++

  A monitor of resources

If you don't like htop, maybe try other options like btop. A bit fancier than just htop.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• pacstall

  69 1,164 8.7 Shell

  An AUR-inspired package manager for Ubuntu

  

Nice. If you're looking for apps on PopOS and other Ubuntu derivatives, you can also use deb-get and pacstall to get certain 3rd party and proprietary apps not in the package manager.

• deb-get

  43 1,199 9.0 Shell

  apt-get for .debs published via GitHub or direct download 📦

• packages

  56 303 9.9 Shell

  The packages Mason, what do they mean? (Package requests and bug reports here) 📑 (by chaotic-aur)

  

And a little bit advanced, but I've also been using distrobox to get AUR and chaotic-aur packages (which should basically have everything that could be installed natively on Linux) inside a containerized Arch install.

• distrobox

  402 8,889 9.7 Shell

  Use any linux distribution inside your terminal. Enable both backward and forward compatibility with software and freedom to use whatever distribution you’re more comfortable with. Mirror available at: https://gitlab.com/89luca89/distrobox
