Proposed configuration applications
Added by QuokForge Admin over 2 years ago
One of the curses of linux is its complete obscurity for beginners trying to configure it. Jesus, there's tutorials just on how to setup an ethernet card.
I propose a common naming convention, config-<function>, to be placed within a separate director either within the root or within /Applications
- Must support common arguments at a minimum, but are not restricted. (-l, --list, -h, --help, probably more?)
- Must be prefixed by config- and must be entirely lowercase, separating words with a '-'
- config-input (Control what devices are currently used as input sources, allowing you to enable or disable them)
- config-network (Give it a guess)
- config-host (hostname, date & time, region, keyboard map, cpu(s) scaling, ect...)
- config-display (enable, disable, reset, ect... displays)
- config-tui (primarily to expose the themeable abilities of the TUI)
Anything else?
