Frotz for your interactive fiction needs. Lots of late '90s content. Not entirely infested by indie retards because it takes work to make games with potentially dozens of player options and nowhere to showcase the shitty pixel art they're all so proud of. I highly recommend the titles Vespers, Slouching Toward Bedlam, Anchorhead, and Shrapnel.

But they are used, even by LARPers. They are basic GNU utils. I may agree xargs is underrated because it isn't used all the time, but ls and grep are used on a day to day basis.

The Linux history command. You've spend hours figuring shit out on the command line and you don't want to do the typing again. https://ss64.com/bash/history.html

Direct it to a text file an and turn into a script.

The $() function in BASH not sure what this is even called but whilst doing dependency goosehunts on Ubuntu it's pretty useful. Example:

apt-get install $(apt-cache search java | cut -d ' ' -f 1) -y

will install of the java packages without manually sorting through the packages for the one you want to install. Time saver but uses lot of disk space and isn't an option if you have an ultra slow network.

Fully 60% of the US legislation are boomers

Expand our definition of "boomer" just a tad:

$ < congress-senate.csv grep '"19[4-6]' | wc -l

And we can get to 75%. If we just look at the senate:

$ < us-senate.csv grep    '"19[4-6]' | wc -l
81
$ < us-senate.csv grep -v '"19[4-6]' | wc -l

The gap between pre/post "computer age" is huge because it happened in such a tiny time span and was not a fluent transition. You can be a millennial that didn't grow up with computers at all or you could be one that had a computer, the internet and other electronic stuff since being a kid. These people can be the same or almost same age yet have grown up in completely different worlds with different cultures, so to say.

I think the internets ADHD-addled brain tries to explain this (inaccurately) with the boomer meme.

Tribblix, AmiWM, Worker, NEdit, and XOSView. IRIX was the first OS I really fell in love with. I still use it but I also need modern software on Linux to get work done, like Libre Office and Chromium. AmiWM has the window focus follow the cursor like 4Dwm. It's great.
