Ffmpeg.
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.
Why don’t they count? The systemd interface has been stable for a decade.
They don’t count for me, because I can’t get support from the main project if it has a bug.
You can’t get support from lemmy.linuxuserspace.show or any other website if there’s a bug in your web browser. You can’t get support from gmail or protonmail or any other mail provider if there’s a bug in your email client. It’s awful how much people have come to assume that clients and servers must and always come from the same provider.
Restic Backup!
Dwarf Fortress no longer counts, huh?
I see you are one of our elders.
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.
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.
I do exactly this for downloading music, I aliased my preferred options to ‘yt-audio’
Would you mind sharing your 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.
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.
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.
Have you considered a network file sharing system other than SMB?
As long as it’s easy to setup, anything would be good. After many years of asking, nobody has been able to suggest anything.
Usbip, I’m learning how to build a Python GUI by making one for usbip bind and usbip attach.
What do you use USB/IP for?
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.
There’s no CLI that k wish I had a GUI for, but there’s many GUIs for which I wish there was a CLI version.
The cli controls the computer while the GUI controls the user
Not at all.They are 2 ways do the same thing. The GUI can tell you what options are available. The CLI needs you to memorise them, or go somewhere else to look them up.
