ranger is a console file manager with Vi key bindings. It provides a minimalistic and nice curses interface with a view on the directory hierarchy. It ships with rifle, a file launcher that is good at automatically finding out which program to use for what file type.

This package provides a tool to resize FAT partitions using libparted.

The dosfstools package includes the mkfs.fat and fsck.fat utilities, which respectively make and check MS-DOS FAT file systems.

GPT fdisk (aka gdisk) is a text-mode partitioning tool that works on Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) Partition Table (GPT) disks, rather than on the older Master Boot Record (MBR) partition scheme.

TestDisk is primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms were caused by faulty software or human error (such as accidentally deleting a partition table). TestDisk can:

1. Fix partition table, recover deleted partition

2. Recover FAT32 boot sector from its backup

3. Rebuild FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 boot sector

4. Fix FAT tables

5. Rebuild NTFS boot sector

6. Recover NTFS boot sector from its backup

7. Fix MFT using MFT mirror

8. Locate ext2/ext3/ext4 Backup SuperBlock

9. Un-delete files from FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2 file systems

10. Copy files from deleted FAT, exFAT, NTFS and ext2/ext3/ext4 partitions.

This package also includes the photorec command, described below.

PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from hard disks, CD-ROMs, and lost pictures (thus the Photo Recovery name) from digital camera memory. PhotoRec ignores the file system and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if your media's file system has been severely damaged or reformatted. It can recover lost files from at least:

1. FAT

2. NTFS

3. exFAT

4. ext2/ext3/ext4 file system

5. HFS+

This package provides a utility library for managing the libnvdimm (non-volatile memory device) sub-system in the Linux kernel.

This package contains user-space utilities to create and inspect bcache partitions. It's rather minimal as bcache is designed to work well without configuration on any system.

Linux's bcache lets one or more fast block devices, such as flash-based SSDs, to act as a cache for one or more slower (and inexpensive) devices, such as hard disk drives or redundant storage arrays. In fact, bcache intends to be a superior alternative to battery-backed RAID controllers.

Bcache is designed around the performance characteristics of SSDs and tries to minimize write inflation. It's file-system agnostic and does both write-through and write-back caching.

Duperemove is a simple tool for finding duplicated extents and submitting them for deduplication. When given a list of files it will hash their contents on a block by block basis and compare those hashes to each other, finding and categorizing blocks that match each other. When given the -d option, duperemove will submit those extents for deduplication using the Linux kernel extent-same ioctl.

Duperemove can store the hashes it computes in a hash file. If given an existing hash file, duperemove will only compute hashes for those files which have changed since the last run. Thus you can run duperemove repeatedly on your data as it changes, without having to re-checksum unchanged data.

Duperemove can also take input from the fdupes program.

This package provides parted bindings for Python.

nwipe securely erases disks using a variety of methods to ensure the data cannot be recovered. It can wipe multiple drives in parallel and can be used noninteractively or with a text-based user interface.

This package provides a LightDM greeter implementation using GTK+, lets you select a desktop session and log in to it.

SDDM is a display manager for X11 and Wayland aiming to be fast, simple and beautiful. SDDM is themeable and puts no restrictions on the user interface design. It uses QtQuick which gives the designer the ability to create smooth, animated user interfaces.

This package provides a minimalistic and modern SDDM theme with a blurred background.

This package provides a tiny yet customizable GTK3 LightDM Greeter with focus on code and minimalism.

This package provides a simple theme for SDDM, black background with Guix's logo. Based on Arch linux's archlinux-simplyblack theme.

This package is a minimalist and highly customizable SDDM theme. It's only a black screen and a password input field. Nothing extra, right? Even when you enter the wrong password it will only show a red border around the screen.

Sugar is extremely customizable and so sweet it will probably cause you diabetes just from looking at it. Sweeten the login experience for your users, your family and yourself

This package provide a minimal but highly configurable single-user GTK3 greeter for LightDM, this greeter is inspired by the SLiM Display Manager and LightDM GTK3 Greeter.
