Alternatives to popular CLI tools for Linux
One of the many strengths of Linux is that there are lots of choices.
This series looks at alternatives to popular CLI tools. Many of them are classic commands that have been modernised in some way, such as written in a funky programming language with additional functionality added. The alternatives are not necessarily drop-in replacements. The vast majority of alternatives offer a CLI, but we don’t exclude GUI tools.
This is a new series, so bear with us while we ramp up the compilation.
All the software featured here is free and open source.
