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.

Just of the top of my head discovered today.
Not a GUI as one exists. But a more configurable one as it is crap for visually impaired.
Rpi-imager gui dose not take theme indications for font size etc. Worse it has no configuration to change such thing.
Making it pretty much unsuable for anyone with poor vision.
Also it varies for each visually impaired indevidual. But dark mode is essential for some of ua.
So if your looking for small projects. Youd at least make me happy;)
yt-dlp. Too many options to remember and look up every time, but all useful and missing from GUIs when you just want to dowload audio or 'good enough' quality video in batches without re-encoding.
While nmtui is perfectly fine for the CLI-uninitiated, I sometimes wonder why the nm-connection-editor window doesn't provide the same level of functionality.
For me it's the other way around I wish there would be better CLI support for GUI apps.
Any examples?
Just from the top of my head.
For anyconnect: openconnect works perfectly, either as standalone script or via networkmangler.
Check out openconnect to connect to anyconnect VPNs
- Gimp to batch edit pictures in a script (I know about ImageMagick but still)
It seems to exist: https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/
For Excel there is a PowerShell module called Import-Excel that I use all the time.
I see, nice, but I'm on Linux, so perhaps I need to run power shell there ^^
I forgot where I was posting. (I use both win and Linux pretty heavily.) I have pwsh, let me see if import-excel works on linux and report back.
I'd love supported GUI apps for pacman and systemd. I know there are GUI's out there for them, but they are not supported by the main project, so they don't count.
Yeah I think a good GUI for systemd will be super useful even for people comfortable with command line.
Sometimes you need an overview of what is running on the system.
There's a TUI called sysz for systemd stuff, but I haven't found a true GUI
I've kinda grown towards CLI the last year or so. I used to make wrappers around CLIs for myself even haha
