As a noob where do I find more handy tips like this? Alone with handy/popular apps?

Almost every windows app I had was on Linux (most were FOSS already) but I know there will be some unique or interesting ones.

For example in android there is Obtanium now to update apps direct from git, or the many was to use YT without ads.

Why date time isn’t turned on by default I’ll never know.

If you have fzf installed, it is easy to integrate it with your bash history. In my .bashrc, I have:

# Introduce fzf-driven functionality as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/fzf.
source /usr/share/fzf/key-bindings.bash
source /usr/share/fzf/completion.bash

Also, you may be interested in zoxide, which keeps track of paths you have navigated to. Also from my .bashrc:

# Enable an autojump-like 'j' command. Use 'ji M' to select paths starting with M using fzf.
# This needs to always come last.
eval "$(zoxide init --cmd j bash)"

I have a bash function in fuzzy_arg that I bind to Alt-a to uses fzf for interactively inserting arguments from previous commands. It’s Ctrl-r for Alt-. – I’ve found it super useful for essentially inserting partial commands (single arguments) from the history
