Modern Linux tools

Modern replacements for the default Linux tools
#

Here I collect alternatives to well-known Linux tools. These alternatives perform the same job better from my perspective, are more feature-rich and deserve to be installed on every Linux machine.

# Assuming you have nix installed
nix-env --install bat eza duf du-dust fd mtr zoxide difftastic

alias cat='bat --paging=never'
alias ls='eza'
alias du='dust'
alias df='duf'
alias find='fd'
alias traceroute='mtr'
alias diff='difft'
eval "$(zoxide init bash --cmd cd)"

Optional
