asking for CLI-friendly software recommendations

[andrew907]

here is something.

Code:

# can adjust something, using alsa interface
alsamixer

# networkmanager for some network control
nmtui

# dumping info on batteries
upower -d

if there is text based browser with complicate features like javascript, i have use for it.

mpv could be used for text systems.

Code:

mpv -vo help

All worthy additions, thank you!

And I feel you on the (perhaps unfortunate) need for a web browser that can mediate adequately between a lightweight text-only environment and the interactive web services that it's hard to live your life without but that were built with the assumption that everyone is using Google Chrome.

I actually feel lucky that I don't have further need for iPhone or Android specifically, and that's probably something that a larger percentage of folks here can relate to. It is frustrating when enterprise IT decisionmakers force everyone to use the same outdated version with Windows (and block WSL at that), while it doesn't even occur to any other decisionmakers that anyone besides iPhone and Android users even exists. We are all swimming against the current of society. It feels worth it so often, but sometimes the current sweeps you further downstream than you wanted.
