From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

w3m, as weird as that sounds, for image drawing. links graphical mode is nice, but I'm not a fan of its keybindings, and w3mimagedisplay is hacky at best, to say the least.
Mount a network share permanently on Kubuntu. Non IT people need to do backups too. And Plasma apps can't access network shares unless they are mounted.

I'd like a GUI app for generating CLI's for other GUI apps that don't have them already. An application is never complete unless everything can be done via a CLI and/or API.
This is an interesting idea. There are some tools out there to auto-generate shell autocompletes based on standardized --help output. Maybe there's some possibility to GUIfy that sort of thing?

Rclone. Not because it's a complicated tool, but because I would like a history of my file transfers and a few graphs to show we what speeds, files sizes and whether the transfer succeeded. At the moment in order to confirm my home backups have succeeded, I have to run a separate size comparisons between my different datastores.
Probably not what you want, but rclone now has a simple web ui built in: https://rclone.org/gui/
I looked at it a few months back and it didn't have the history side of things, just the setup and realtime stats which I'd already got through the CLI. Thanks tho!
I feel like you can parse a --dry-run
Thanks. I think I looked at doing that when setting it up, and it was more expensive in terms of API calls. With a cloud vendor you have to be careful of that, so I opted for the SIZE command.
If it works it works
INOTIFY a GUI for monitor file changes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inotify
Hmm, I might try to make that. Any particular feature you are looking for, or is just displaying all the events in a table good 'nuff?
I'm not them, but sorting by columns, filtering, searching with highlights would be useful. Also, specifying the columns you wish to see.
After writing it down this sounds just plain spreadsheet operations, so the real value of such a tool would be to do all the above at the same time as watching changes.
There's also other things that would be useful. Like a feature to select multiple directories for watching. Live output to file in original format. Maybe also JSON for when you would use it from code, but that's maybe not that useful because then why not just use the API directly.. Perhaps some patterns for which ones to send as an audible system notification.
I'm surprised at the shortage of good Borg repository visualization tools. There are tools but they're either incomplete or they try to do too much.
I'd love to have archivemount or a similar tool integrated in a file manager
I'd also love to have some sort of full featured gui software to install and manage custom roms in phones, allowing to do everything, from unlocking bootloaders to downloading and flashing/upgrading roms. For the tasks that require manual steps, it could offer illustrated steps, with a community driven database of phone models.
swap and zram configuration. lots of games need more than distro defaults
Restic Backup!
Pandoc, for sure. I love its versatility, it's made it super easy for me to do most of my writing in markdown — and a lot of MD editors have it built-in as an export feature.
But I use it too rarely to know the CLI commands by heart, and sometimes it would just be super helpful to open a GUI and batch convert (and/or collate) a bunch of files to a new format.
Tell you what, throw Imagemagick and maybe a light OCR backend into the package as a Swiss Army Knife for document management, I'd probably be happy.
