Ask HN: What are some Linux Gothcas or less known tricks?

3 pointsby aljgz6 months ago
I&#x27;ve been using Linux (mainly Fedora + KDE) as my main OS for the past few years. I love it, but also I have no other viable option: Mac&#x27;s multitasking model and all Apple anti-competitive measures, and as person with ADHD, Windows can be too distracting.<p>As a seasoned Linux user, what are some of your &quot;secrets&quot;?<p>Some examples: Switching to Terminator + Zsh + Oh-My-Zsh makes a really approachable Terminal experience and great defaults. Well, even switching to KDE for someone who does not like how Gnome works is a game changer.<p>In one old company I remember we were advised to increase some default limits right after installing our workstations.<p>One developer in my team had a combination of commands that let him debug code on his machine, but tunnelling network traffic from a K8s pod in staging.<p>All such recommendations (and others) would be appreciated.
