Watching this chan after it popped up in my feed a few days ago, I'll give your script a whirl, looks very interesting. I'm trying to convince an elderly neighbour (78) to ditch Windows and switch to Linux, but he only really needs a browser and a couple of other bits, so this might be an ideal way to simplify removing any unnecessary apps. Does it only work with Mint? or would it also run on something like Linux Lite? Thanks and keep up the good work!
Awesome! The next release will have support for the big three (Debian, Fedora, and Arch). You may need to install python, but Linux Lite is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian. Should work with the current release. Good luck with your neighbor. Reach out if you run into any issues. Thanks for watching.
Hey. You're video turned up in my feed at a good time. Thanks, I'll give it a try as it looks like it would save a lot of time. 👍👍 I usually modify Mint as advised by Easy Linux Tips Project webpage (I'm don't believe there is a UA-cam channel, just the webpage, but it's been a while). In it he recommends modifying Libre Office to make it much more compatible with MS Office documents. Would you consider a video about this? All the best.
@@TheLinuxITGuy Brilliant, thanks. I had a look after posting the comment and it may just be a case of modifying the user registry, but I wouldn't be comfortable writing a script - I'm more of an application user than a programmer. Cheers. 👍
@@TheLinuxITGuy Yep, see, my Friend ... more & more & more application uses of Scripting that a "Conceptual Tool" like this could solve, if implemented properly and openly.
Hey, want another suggestion? Maybe, have a pull-down box in upper right for "Type of Install: ". Then, you have (at start of CVS file) where person can define the Install # and Install Type. Like this: 1,Work Install ... 2,Gaming Install ... etc. Then, on the CVS for the rows, have another column that lets you add 123 or whatever where you can say that this row will run with that type of install. Okay, then PRE-POPULATE the app (as the Install-Type is selected), and POOF -- all those check-boxes are pre-populated for you with one click of the Install-Type. Right? > Save a person a crap-load of time to go and click all those rows. Honestly, think about how simple an install could be. With your invention, this is coming close to NixOS configurations.
Okay, on a third review, maybe have another column in the CVS -- say like "Install Column" (A) and another "De-Install Column" (B) -- or, whatever the names. So, (A) is the code that the App will run if you click on the left-clicker, and the right-clicker will run the (B) code. Then, you could check for (A) or (B) in the code, then enable or disable the clickers for that CVS row on your GUI. And, you might even have a column to indicate that it is a Flatpak or not, because you wouldn't need code there -- just the Flatpak's real / searchable identity name. And, the install or uninstall of a flatpak would be simple -- just needed is "Flatpak, search code-repository name". Then, there wouldn't have to be any code to run like SH for that. Again, I am brainstorming, because that's how I would do it. And, lot of this could reduce down, once you thought about it. I'm not saying how 100 columns, but this Tool could really be useful with both abilities to run SH and install / de-install flatpaks, snaps, whatever.
Very good script. Can you please add the automatic mounting of all hard disks at system startup? I have 5 hard disks in my PC and don't want to use fstab. This can be done automatically, e.g. as is the case with Nobara OS? Thanks and regards Christian
if it's not too difficult can you explain how to add an option to install from a local file. I want to use it at work and add my edr and zabbix client to it.

Bravissimo! Grazie!! Ciaooooo
Thank you. 👋
Very nice change with self software add! Thx again

Great next step.
Thanks for your work 👍
You bet! Thanks for watching.

That would be cool. What type of local file?
@@TheLinuxITGuy deb file or run sh file
First !
