Clean mount lists in Linux

https://dbohdan.com/clean-mount-lists

Summary: Clean mount lists in Linux provides ways to make the output of df, lsblk, and mount commands more readable by removing irrelevant devices. For df, use "df -x tmpfs" to exclude tmpfs. For lsblk, use "lsblk -e 7" to exclude loopback devices. For mount, either include or exclude specific filesystem types. Fish configuration script is available to replace commands with cleaner output. Alternatively, use findmnt(8) for better filtering options.
