    8 Free Linux apps that are surprisingly useful – no command line is required

    Key takeaways of zdnet

    • You do not need to use the command line in Linux.
    • With the help of these free GUI, Linux becomes very easy.
    • These devices can be easily installed.

    Linux is becoming more and more popular worldwide. A part of the cause is the end of Windows 10. At the same time, Linux has traveled a long journey since the initial days of targeting developers, admins or big companies of computer science.

    This development has never made it possible to touch the command line (something that is firmly possible that is possible).

    Also: 4 most Windows-like Linux Distros to try because changes are difficult

    For those who doubt the truth of my claim, I introduce you (and those new for Linux) to the GUI apps that replace command-line tools.

    All these apps are free to install and use.

    1. Grasync

    If you ever want to backup your Linux computer, you must have been asked to see RSYNC. RSYNC is a command-line sink tool that is often used for backup. Although RSYNC is quite straightforward to use, uninterrupted, it can be a bit harder. Fortunately, there is GRSYNC, a user -friendly GUI that makes RSYNC very easy. This is not to say that GRSYNC makes RSYNC easy for anyone without the fundamental understanding of RSYNC.

    For example, you need to understand the difference between source versus destination, permission protection etc. For example, in the source and destination section of the GUI, you have to know that the source is what you want to return and the destination is the place where you want to give backup to the backup.

    You also need to understand the format of remote sites in the SCP format, such as jack@192.168.1.25:/home/jack/document/. One more thing to keep in mind that if you do not add a follower, GRSYNC will make a sub-dusty to give homes to the house.

    GRSYNC App.

    GRSYNC RSYNC works with an air.

    2. File manager

    There are many orders that can take care of your file manager, such as LS, MKDIR, MV, CP, Tar and Touch. For example, you open your file manager and it will show you the content of the current directory (LS).

    You can right-click a file and select a copy (CP), draw a file from one place to another (MV) and drop, right-click on a file or folder and select a compressed (tar), or make a new file by right-clicking in a blank place in the file manager and selecting a new file.

    Cosmic file manager

    The cosmic file manager is very user friendly and faster.

    3. Disc

    The disc app takes some more challenging orders, such as FSCK, Mount, Parted, Chaown and DD. This app is an easy GUI that prevents you from editing the FSTAB configuration file (for growing drives), which is a huge plus.

    Just remember, change the command disk is very powerful, so make sure you know exactly the disc with the exactly you are working; Otherwise, you can format your primary drive accommodation OS. The disk is installed on all ganom-based distribution and many non-contained-based distribution (eg pop! _OS).

    Disk app.

    It makes it very easy to work with a disc drive.

    4. Stagker

    Stacer is a great device that can help clean your OS (RM) and Monitor Resource (PS). You can also manage the startup application, discover files, uninstall the final procedures (Kill and Kilal), uninstall applications (APT, YUM, PACMAN, etc.), and manage repository (nano, ad-APT-poverty). The stacer has an easy-to-use GUI and a tab for each feature. Anyone should use it seriously about dumping the command line.

    Stagker app.

    I want starsor to have a light theme, or the system theme would have to follow.

    5. Melted

    If you ever compare the content of two files, you have probably used DIFF, which is not the most user -friendly command found in Linux. Thankfully, there are devices like Meld that help make the comparison of files very easy. Meld can also merge files. Keep in mind that Meld does not work with binary files (eg .ODT or .docx), so you have to convert such documents into .txt format.

    Meld app.

    Using this GUI is much easier than the difference command.

    6. Edit, kett, or cosmic text

    At some point, you need an original text editor. The reason is that you do not want to edit a configuration file or other text file within the Nano, VI, or EMACS editors. Instead, use the choice of ganom edit, kettle, or cosmic text. A warning to use basic text editors is that you may have trouble editing configuration files that require succulent (or root) privilege. Each of these apps offers different features, but they get the task of creating and editing all flat text files.

    Cosmic text app.

    Cosmic text is one of the fastest text editors used by me.

    7. Ganom Software/KDE Discover/Cosmic Shop

    If you hate APT, DNF, Pacman, Zypper, Snap, or Flatpak command to install the software, you may always turn towards the GUI front end of your distribution, such as GNOME Software, KDE Discover, or cosmic shop. The old school is also a Sainpitic GUI, but I would recommend one of the first three.

    Also: This Linux distro I advise power users

    Keep in mind that ganom software is for ganom and ganom-based desktop environment, KDE Discover is for KDE Plasma, and cosmic shop is for new cosmic desktop environment. Although many people install easier from the command line, many will go with a point-and-click GUI instead of remembering all those commands (and their options).

    Cosmic Store App.

    The cosmic store is much faster than the previous cosmic shop app.

    8. Putty

    Finally, there is putty, which takes care of the SSH command. Putty GUI may look a bit out, but it is still powerful and useful. One of the best things about putty is that it allows you to save the hosts, so connecting to a remote machine is only a matter of choosing the host in the question. Putty has a modest learning state, but for those who are new to Linux, it is still easier than using the command line.

    Putty app.

    Putty Gui may use some attention.
