I replaced rm with trash-put, just in case I realize I need some files that I removed down the line.
alias rm='trash-put'Official author don’t recommend it due to different semantics. But honestly for my own personal use case its fine for me.
Also I like to alias xclip:
alias clippy='xclip -selection clipboard' # cat things.txt | clippy
For me, I personally just run my workplace stuff in a VM (Debian 12) using KVM.
For excel desktop, OnlyOffice has a Desktop application that you can use to edit local files, which has pretty good compatibility with Microsoft products.
