### Drew's hacks and tips
1. **Timeshift** - A restore tool for Linux, designed to create and manage snapshots of your system.
2. **Grep** -
By piping a command to grep, you can filter these output.
Example: ```history | grep mkvmerge```
This command will display all the history entries containing mkvmerge.
3. **Virtual Desktops** - Take advantage of virtual desktops (workspaces) to organize your tasks. Most desktop environments support virtual desktops, allowing you to group different activities on separate desktops.
4. **KDE Connect** - A versatile tool designed to integrate your Linux desktop with your mobile devices, particularly Android phones.
NOTE: Matt suggests GSConnect
5. **Git** - Learn it. Live it. Love it.
