Hello everyone! I know that Linux GUI advanced in last few years but we still lack some good system configuration tools for advanced users or sysadmins. What utilities you miss on Linux? And is there any normal third party alternatives?

That's the point. That systemd is convoluted, so a gui could help. And yes, for everything. :)

My point is there is no way to sanely create a GUI for something has it's tendrils in... Everything. In fact, there's no sane way to do any sort of UI for such a beast.

Maybe the system should be made less convoluted.

I mean, do we really need a half dozen network management services, all broken in their own way and none that do everything you need?

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.
