Jokes aside, this is all highly personal software meaning that is tailored on my own linux experience and desired behaviour. You may find many of these scripts useless or too complicated, depending on your personal taste and personal preferences.

Please note that you should read the documentation before doing anything as many scripts may possibly break or change your user experience in unforeseen ways.

Software Documentation

btrfswapper

Easy swapfile and swapiness management on btrfs fs

Dependencies

You must be on a btrfs filesystem

Usage

btrfswapper nG <swappiness>

nG stands for number + G, i.e. 8G will set the swapfile to 8GB
swappiness is optional and defaults to 60

Various

This software writes on /swapdir/ creating the folder if it does not exists
In /swapdir/ this software creates the swapfile itself

Special Notes

The change is not permanent as stated in the script itself. You can make it persistant by editing /etc/sysctl.conf and locating vm.swappiness.

filehere

Opens a file manager (configured in the script) in "."

Usage

filehere

Various

You should edit the binary to ensure you have the correct file manager written
Defaults to pcmanfm-qt (cause is what I use)

flatline

Handy tool to install .flatpakref files

Usage

flatline yourpackage.flatpakref

Warnings

Still prone to failures without a proper warning message

gapt / gdpkg

They use the same syntax: both forces installation of .deb files (or apt packages) no matter what.

Warning & Disclaimer

This is quite destructive. It can seriously impact your system. Please use it only if you accept the risks

Usage

gapt apt_package or gdpkg package.deb

gitup

One of my favorite. A git wrapper that, once in a repository do the following: it adds everything (with git add .), commit everything with a message provided by the user, if it is installed uses trunk to check, fix and format the code, re-commit everything and push it.

Dependencies

(optional) trunk linter
git
being in a repository

Usage

gitup "I am a commit message"

Warning

Don't complain if you commit something that wasn't meant to be committed

gophereal

Uses GNU tools to fetch an url and extract all the "http" and "https" links from the source of the page.

Usage

gophereal https://alinkwithalotoflinks.com/works/on/sub/pages/too"

ksudo

Have you ever heard of gsudo? Anyway, sometimes you just want to launch a command with sudo automatically (like at startup) but you don't have / want a console prompt. Well, ksudo does it.

Long story short: ksudo wraps pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY $1 so that the your GUI launches a command as superuser after prompting for a password graphically.

Warning & Disclaimer

Please note that this script exposes superuser functionalities. Is tested on my machine but has not been assessed for any particular sensitive case.

Usage

ksudo yourapp

Either from the CLI or from any runner. You can use it also on login scripts and so on.

machange

Automates random MAC address change for the specified interface.

Dependencies

macchanger (apt install macchanger)

Usage

machange

Various

Please ensure that this script has the right interface configured in the appropriate variable
You may want to auto-execute it at boot: is a nice stuff to do

megafix

Kills and re-run megasync with the --nogfx option to avoid thumbnails generation. Fixes many problems of the megasync software.

Dependencies

megasync (bruh)

Usage

megafix

mp

A package manager mashup that makes it easy to install stuff when you can't be bothered with multiple package managers. Avoid using 6 commands and check it all at once.

Warning & Disclaimer

The script is very very primitive but it works. Remember to set up your favorite ordering and package managers before executing this program.

For example: mp install randompackage will execute one by one package manager commands (apt, brew, pip...) until one of them works. Same goes for mp remove randompackage.

Requirements

Set your configuration in this script: the order is followed as it is.

Usage

mp <install/remove> <package>

pathis

A simple tool to add the current path to the $PATH environment variable permanently

Usage

pathis

Various

Should be persistant by default
Uses $(pwd) to find the path to add
