For those who aren't ready for Suicide Linux yet, there's `sl`, a command that mildly punishes you for not being able to type `ls`, available in most distros.

  sudo apt install sl

So if you're not ready for SL you can try sl, which uses little letters so it's not as scary. Nice.
`sl` is my favorite first package to install in any distro to get see if the package manager works :)
I’m boring, my first (on rocky lately) is epel-release followed by htop or btop.
Years ago I installed this at work for new linux users as a prank. They will hate me forever.
I've got 'sl' set to 'ls "$@" | rev'.
