Playing around with PeppermintOS on a "new " old laptop, and having fun. Its making me realize that tiny things can really work to impress. (Especially when you’re waiting on a ram upgrade, haha!)
Could be terminal based or GUI, I’m just curious—what tiny apps do you use that you think are neat? Things that don’t take up much storage or memory.
jq for parsing/formatting/manipulating JSON, and its yq wrapper for YAML. Holy shit you can do powerful queries with them.
gnumeric runs great on any old linux machine - it isn’t as sophisticated as Libreoffice Calc but for basic spreadsheeting, it’s very fast and lightweight.
gnucash is an alternative to quickbooks for accounting - it’s been around so long that it will run on anything and it does the job without sharing your data or bombarding you with ads.
you can always run nmap in the terminal and have some fun with that.
