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.

Gimp to batch edit pictures in a script (I know about ImageMagick but still)
Excel to change stuff in excel files quickly (I know about python modules but it's so complicated to use)
Proprietary VPN software like Cisco AnyConnect, I want to automate the login when I boot, but they don't let me

Just from the top of my head.

For Excel there is a PowerShell module called Import-Excel that I use all the time.

I see, nice, but I'm on Linux, so perhaps I need to run power shell there ^^

If you don't want to use PowerShell in Linux, there's also nushell, which is another (non-POSIX) shell that can process Excel files
