From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Underrated
Both linked projects have over 60k+ stars on GitHub
Pick one
It has not taken over NGINX and Apache yet.
yes
The most positive command you'll ever use.
Run it normally and it just spams 'y' from the keyboard. But when one of the commands above is piped to it, then it will respond with 'y'. Not every command has a true -y to automate acceptance of prompts and that's what this is for.
What's the syntax here? Do I go
command && yes
I'm not sure if I've had a use case for it, but it's interesting.
true delivers error level 0, false error level 1.
yes && echo True || echo False will always be True.
false && echo True || echo False will always be False.
Common usage is for tools that ask for permissions and similiar. yes | cp -i has the same effect as cp --force (-i: prompt before overwrites).
That will just wait for command to finish properly and then run yes.
What you want to run is yes | command, so it spams the command with confirmations.

tmsu is pretty cool - it creates a little db and uses that to track tags on your files without ever touching them. It also has it's own little tag based filesystem.
ddccontrol... it looks complicated on the surface but it's really not and being able to control monitor brightness without fcking around in some garbage monitor OSD is a god sent and should be the standard
