> Yeah the name collision is unfortunate, but probably fine. The name Biff was just too good to pass up.
So if I do an "apt install biff" on Debian (or Ubuntu) what will happen?
* https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=biff
If I type in "biff" on a Debian CLI, what should I expect the behaviour of the program that is executed to be? Will it be something about mail or time?
Per Debian policy and precedence of the email notification utility, you'll install biff, the command-line email notification utility:

<https://packages.debian.org/trixie/biff>
I know that if you want `fd` (https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) you need to `apt install fd-find` and which installs the binary `fdfind` (!).
I honestly don't know. Which is... Not Great.
