Packages/apps for new install

[Zack Fosdyck]

Hiya!

So, here are a few things I really like to use nowadays.

btop~A terminal-based resource monitor that shows CPU, memory, disk, and
network usage with an interactive interface.

zsh~A powerful Unix shell with advanced features like tab completion,
better scripting, and plugin support.

zoxide~A smarter replacement for the cd command that lets you quickly jump
to frequently used directories.

nala~A frontend for apt that offers cleaner output, better performance, and
easier package management on Debian-based systems.

tldr~Provides simplified and example-based command explanations, serving as
a quick reference instead of full man pages.

ghossty~A modern terminal emulator focused on speed, rich features, and
native performance.

eza~A modern replacement for ls with improved formatting, colors, and
support for tree views and git info.

zed editor~A fast, minimalist code editor designed for developers, with
real-time collaboration features and a clean UI.

pigz~A parallel implementation of gzip that uses multiple CPU cores to
compress files much faster than the standard gzip.

Take Care Now,
Zac
