This is not your average Linux tips video. These 5 tools each come with a real-world story — from missed 3AM backups, to forgotten commands, to lost SSH sessions — and how to prevent them.
In this video, I walk you through:
• 🧵 A true 3AM disaster and how tmux could’ve saved it
• 🤯 Command search fatigue and how fzf made it effortless
• 🔁 Repeating the same command every day until .bashrc.d saved the day
• 🧠 Losing track of tasks and why I use taskwarrior
• ⏰ Forgetting backups and how cron prevents it forever
I even show you how to use taskwarrior to check off each of these as you go — because yes, I eat my own cooking.
This is the calm before the Linux distro storm, and the perfect time to level up your system before Fedora, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Debian 13 “Trixie” start dropping.
