Which Linux command or utility is simple, powerful, and surprisingly unknown to many people or used less often?

This could be a command or a piece of software or an application.

For example I’m surprised to find that many people are unaware of Caddy, a very simple web server that can make setting up a reverse proxy incredibly easy.

Another example is fzf. Many people overlook this, a fast command-line fuzzy finder. It’s versatile for searching files, directories, or even shell history with minimal effort.

    Hey, still the quickest way to copy any damn text from a terminal elsewhere is with the mouse. Tmux is a joke for this.

    Why can’t terminal emulators just make this easy

      Wezterm has made this easy : shift + ctrl + x and your in vim motion moving all over with yank line or word or visual mode. It’s super awesome! I never touch my mouse. You can also remap the keymap of course.
