Unix …: “exa” – a modern replacement for “ls”

• https://the.exa.website/
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exa_(command-line_utility)

pros:

• … (lots, that’s why I started installing and using it all around me)

cons:

• I can easily ignore backup files ending in a ~ (AKA “tilde”), but if I do want to see them, that’s difficult – “ls --ignore-backups” ignores backup files, if run on a directory, but it shows them, when I list them on the command line – that’s what I got rather used to
