I personally would like a systemd gui. There have been several attempts in the past, but none is maintained.

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.

SystemD is far too much of a poorly thought through mess to have anything like a sane GUI configuration, it doesn't even have a sane textfile based configuration. We're going to have to wait fir SystemD to crumble under it's own weight and be replaced with multiple, simple, cleanly designed components before we have any hope of a sane config again. Sort of like we used to have before a certain someone/some company (depending on how conspiratorial you're feeling) decided to come along and muck it all up.

Thank you for coming to my Ted ~~Talk~~ Rant. You may gather I dislike SystemD quite a lot.

Its far too convoluted. A systemd gui for... DNS? Boot services? User Services? tmp file management? Everything?
Everything! And a virt-manager like tool for nspawn! And for the faux-cron jobs! Make it as byzantine as systemd itself

I would like something to change my monitor output at a system level, for example I could emulate a CRT screen or decide my aspect ratio. Something like RetroArch shaders but in a more high priority level.
I've been using linux for over 25 years and I don't understand this post. One of the strengths of linux is that you don't need a gui to do sysadmin.
I think I'm 30 years in, and I came to mention I haven't used the GUI since ~97.
For sysadmin stuff? Or for daily use?

The only thing I miss from Windows is Voicemeeter. God, I loved that thing. I miss it so much.
Handling the audio and adding what were once simple things like noise supression has been a really really shit experience.

I'm missing a lightweight (not like Thunderbird) contacts app, that can work with CardDAV and allow me to see, search and edit my contacts.
What's wrong with gnome-contacts?
For me gnome apps are not "lightweight" and work fine only all together (Evolution + gnome-contacts + other gnome tools)
