This is a list of (console) tips and tricks I found useful for Linux.

  1. Add progress bar to programs like md5sum:
    pv file | md5sum
  2. Service menus don’t work in KF5 dolphin
    mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kservicetypes5/
    cp /usr/share/kde4/servicetypes/* ~/.local/share/kservicetypes5/
    kbuildsycoca5
