Most listed in some form elsewhere, but

• Ugrep
• ranger/lf
• tmux (splitting terminal and detatching/reattaching when I’m sshing onto server, etc)

I’ve also been enjoying Kate. It’s a decent text editor, but the ability to Ctrl + / to pipe selected lines through any Linux command (Uniq, shuf, etc) is a bit of a superpower for an editor

I love flexibility with regex, personally I use ugrep as it also allows utilization of boolean and/or/not logic for more complicated searches.

Do you have experience with either ranger, lf, or yazi? I’m wondering how broot compares. Big fan of file ranger, and this looks very similar.

I don’t use the Word replacement but I do use Calc (excel replacement). I very often want to run calculations or chart a bit of data and use Calc for that. Yeah I could use Google sheets, but every time I want to use it I have to go get my phone out to MFA. Far easier to just type “calc”.

I do not use any other features of LibreOffice.

At work I use the standalone power point and excel. I am not collaborating 99% of the time, and Microsoft Office has mechanisms for collaborating & sharing if I do. Using the browser always feels second class with some options moved or hard to find. Of course YMMV.

Can have a shared power envelope and naturally shares heat dissipation - which can both be limiters to simultaneously making full use of integrated graphics & CPU as well, even if the integrated graphics were powerful enough for gaming.
