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

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.

Systemd’s problems won’t be solved with a GUI. Now that lennart’s gone to Microsoft we can hope they upgrade in rhel10 or 11 to upstart or sysv.

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
