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.

How to change context menu in "linux" (lemmy.ml)

submitted 2 weeks ago by interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

I want code to right click context menu on a file and if it is a .mp4, then convert that to a .mp3 of the same name

also include an option to play faster by +25 +33 +50 or slower by -25 -33 -50 (in a sub menu)

I understand this is different depending on your system, so answer how to do it for the people who use the same system as you

Well, more choice is a good thing. So long as the configuration file stays available as well (because it makes it way easier to script this configuration), then having a GUI available is cool, too.

Having said that, the particular feature that OP wants is for people who want to script things, meaning most of them will prefer the configuration file anyways. You'd need quite a lot of spare devs for one of them to get bored enough to want to develop a GUI, which will not see much usage.
