From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'd like a GUI app for generating CLI's for other GUI apps that don't have them already. An application is never complete unless everything can be done via a CLI and/or API.
This is an interesting idea. There are some tools out there to auto-generate shell autocompletes based on standardized
--helpoutput. Maybe there's some possibility to GUIfy that sort of thing?I’m not sure how that could even be done, maybe a way to control the GUI with commands that you’d then be able to script, like Selenium on browsers?
Maybe. But wishes don't have to be possible. :)
