A straightforward and capable taskbar.
I’ve used this for a long time, and it’s done the job well. I just want something similar to Windows 95.
 One of many styles.

A simple application launcher with intelligent autocompletion.
Awesome and extremely smart; more so than something like Bash or Zsh tab completion. I use it with my run.sh

Openbox has been my window manager of choice for years now. Over that time, I’ve amassed some significant knowledge which I’ll try to maintain here.
A component of LXDE.

A terminal multiplexer
I use it only in fairly dire circumstances, usually when at the TTY console. It’s essential in that circumstance, even if it’s only to lock the console screen (with ^a^x)

A file can be “summarized” into a short string. That string can be compared with the file again to determine if it’s the same file. This is often used when downloading a file to check it after the fact. This sort of thing is built into compression software, but using md5sum is way faster/easier because it doesn’t need to put the file in a container and uncompress it to use it.
There are various other programs which do similar things, like sha256sum. These all come with almost all Linux distributions.
