For any given task that enough people have wanted to do before on a computer, there is a multitude of tools available to perform that task on Linux.
- Here is a small list of cherry-picked ones that I tend to forget (or that I want to promote :) ).
+ Here is a small list of cherry-picked ones that I tend to forget.
As I use Arch Linux, some may be Arch-specific.
+ Here's a couple that I wrote myself. +
+ ++ sound-manager. [git] + TUI over the PulseAudio pacmd interface for changing volume of microphones (sources), speakers (sinks), and applications using those, as well as reassigning applications among those streams. +
+ acpi-inhibitor. [git]
+ A systray app in Rust that uses systemd-inhibit
to block laptop close signals.
+ Can be turned on and off from the systray icon.
+
+ display-manager. [git] + Small popup window using zenity to select what multi-monitor configuration to enable in xrandr. + If you have a different setup from mine, you probably have to modify the presets in the script (which is only ~100 lines of Python). +
+ rid3v2. [git]
+ ID3v2 tag editor (i.e. track metadata in mp3 files) in Rust.
+ Written because the id3v2
utility has bugs relating to encoding of non-ASCII characters.
