Which CLI app/utility you wish there was a GUI for?

2 years ago by mFat to c/linux

For me it's: Testdisk (and Photorec) Caddy Netstat Dig Aria2

For me it's the other way around I wish there would be better CLI support for GUI apps.

It's been years since I had to admin Windows servers, but I was quite impressed with the number of MS products where the install and configuration tools would output the Powershell commands to carry out the changes you'd asked for. It made it quite a lot easier to automate. I'd love to see that paradigm catch on more widely, with the GUI and CLI having the same functionality and the GUI giving you the commands to run.

I use a little oneliner with tofi (rofi/wofi would also work) to select the current output and avoid pavucontrol. It's mapped to a sway binding but would probably work in any wm/de:

pactl set-default-sink $(pactl list short sinks |awk '{print $2}' |tofi $tofi_args)

I'm using pipewire so the functionality of pactl is actually provided through pipewire-pulse I think

Does set-default-sink change an already current stream? Or do you need move-sink-input.

I've looked at the manpages but was a bit overwhelmed and didn't try to make my own script. Your solution gives me motivation to do so. I also use sway and pipewire. Though I use fuzzel for my launcher.

I love programs like freecad despite the really hard/unintuitive gui. 95% of all the modelling i need to do (as an amateur) can be done easily in a python script.

The finishing touches like adding filets and chamfers are the annoying part were gui is easier, due to the way edges are referenced.

Likewise at work, we have to produce a lot of regular reports in excel. All done via python / sql.

Dont know if it's illegitimate otherwise 😉

But my user story is like this:

I want to preserve and archive information I used because it's a reflection of the things I did, learned and studied throughout life.

Then my use case are:

Orientation about "events": places to visit on daytrips or holidays (musea, nature, parks, campsites) and looking for practical information and background as well.
Gather a "dossier": info to help make a decision (buying expensive things, how to do home improvement etc)
Building a personal knowledge database: interesting articles and blogs.

My current workflow:

Browse
Bookmark extensively
Download pdf or other content (maps, routes, images) when provided.
Open bookmarks.
Fireshot every webpage to pdf and png
Save everything with a consequent filename (YYYYMMDD - Source - Title)

I would like to automate the last 3 steps of my workflow.

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.

I believe ytDownloader might be what you're looking for. It's a yt-dlp frontend, you can export to video/audio pretty easily. And it's in active development. I've used it to export short clips to WAV a few times, nothing too fancy, but so far it works pretty well.

A lot of GUIs have less options available than their CLI equivalents. Moreover GUIs change more often, requiring you to relearn the actions to get the expected result Shells can remember the commands you used, commands are also way easier to write down on paper than a list of actions to do on a GUI And using man or --help is not going somewhere to know the options, you stay in the shell If you want to know all the features of a tool, reading the manual is also easier than browsing all the GUI

The CLI lets the user automate tasks, giving them more control over their workflow

GUIs can have just as many options. Sure there are programs with poor UX. Choose a good one. There are also many GUIs with no CLI alternative, or only a poor UX alternative. As the GUIs guide the user, small changes are understood right away. GUIs remember last settings all the time. Great for reuse. If you have to write a command down, for GUIs it need not be perfect. For CLI one letter wrong and it fails. Using man commands is yet another command to learn and does not work with all CLI commands. It is possible to automate GUI commands.

And even if there was some benefit to a CLI, the entire UX is so poor you can understand why most people prefer GUIs. It's the dominant way for good reason. And why most CLI users use a web browser and GUI email client.

Anything that needs to be configured with YAML, and Kubernetes in particular.

I mean I get the whole Infrastructure as Code hype (although I have never witnessed or heard of a situation where an entire cluster needed to be revived from scratch), but it should be very possible to make a gui that writes the YAML for you.

I don't want to memorize every possible setting and what it does and if someone makes a typo in the config (or in the white space, as it's YAML) everything is borked.

Call me old-fashioned but the graphical ui of something like octopus deploy was a thousand times more user friendly imho.

That UI is called VSCode

At the top of your .yaml file, you can set a JSON Schema. Example:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://json.schemastore.org/prometheus.json

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: caddy
    static_configs:
      - targets:
          - caddy:2019

This way, you don't have to memorize every possible setting and what it does and risk making a typo in the config. VSCode will just tell you.

I think it’s easy to make a generic YAML editor that all you need to do is to pass a “definitions” file that says all the possible options to show as a drop down or toggle etc.

The whole CLI. Linux should automatically generate default GUIs from manpages and code, to be developed further by the crowd of users on the desktop. It's pointless to handcraft both interfaces one app at a time.

I like Linux Mint (compared to Ubuntu, Debian, and Windows) because usually right-clicking takes me closer to the solution I'm looking for, but it doesn't allow me to dig deep enough. It should be discoverable all the way from the desktop to what makes it tick. Think of Smalltalk by Alan Kay in Xerox PARC in the 1970s, or what it would be now had it been mainstream all this time. #discoverability #explorability

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.

A single, decent, maintained one for LVM.

Redhat had a couple of goes at this and they suck ass big time and rely on KDE (so no good for any other DE / WM). I'm not sure anything really works, so I'll say: none exist.

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.

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?

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.

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;)

It seems that it is based on Qt, so there might be a easy way to fix this unless they’re creating their controls from scratch. I know QML can be used as a canvas to draw custom controls, so it depends on the code.

What do you use USB/IP for?

CypherColt 3 points 2 years ago

My laptop, desktop pc, and VMs are running Linux. All of them (except the laptop) are remotely accessible over the local network via Moonlight game stream using Sunshine as the hosting software.

I use USB/IP to send things like a Dualsense controller, or USB headset over the network, as well as my yubikey if I need to log into something with FIDO2 authentication remotely. (I haven't tested my yubikey over usb/ip yet but I will eventually) I've also managed to use my racing wheel this way but if it lags it hurts the game badly.

Webcam / headset / USB storage devices / game controllers work just fine so far.

Git - the Github Desktop application is a great example of how easy git could be for users like me who only rarely use git. Every time I need to do somethign other then a simple pull or push I need to look it up and by the time I need it again I have forgotten the command and need to look it up again. Just give me something like Github Desktop on linux

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.

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.
