        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.

    I’ve kinda grown towards CLI the last year or so. I used to make wrappers around CLIs for myself even haha

    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.

        pavucontrol. I switch between usb headset and my external speakers all the time. Continually going to this gui is kind of annoying.

          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.

        1. Gimp to batch edit pictures in a script (I know about ImageMagick but still)
        2. Excel to change stuff in excel files quickly (I know about python modules but it’s so complicated to use)
        3. Proprietary VPN software like Cisco AnyConnect, I want to automate the login when I boot, but they don’t let me

        Just from the top of my head.

      This, but for a Fireshot like tool. Screenshot and pdf of webpages in their entirety by scrolling while shotting. In bulk, with CLI.

          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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

      There’s a firefox extension that generates the cli command for whatever video you’re on. Let’s you check boxes for the format, sponsorblock, etc and then copies it to your clipboard.

      Just search the addon store for yt-dlp and it should show up

      You can have most of the settings pre-loaded in its config file. I mostly let it do my preset -f, or when that fails do a -F to see what encodings are available.

      Too many options to remember and look up every time

      This is a good use case for shell aliases. If you can identify a few of your use cases, you can give each bundle of options its own command.

            This is what I use (with zsh):

            yt-audio() {
	   yt-dlp --no-playlist -f 'ba' -x --audio-format mp3 $1
}
yt-audio-playlist() {
	   yt-dlp -f 'ba' -x --audio-format mp3 $1
}

            It takes the best quality available and downloads it to mp3.

      (Windows only warning, unless someone wants to add Linux support)

      I didn’t really search around for GUIs way back, but ended up making a basic GUI because I wanted to learn programming.

      https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5ecb6cdfb3710e359894b65e42b79c7ab7dd8de55a14cdf34f0f0f37d48c7d04/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f346a46776846652e706e67

      With just having options as checkboxes for YouTube-dl. It has served me well all these years. It was literally the thing I made while learning programming so the code is pretty janky when I look back at it though…

    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.

    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.

    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

    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;)

    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.
