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?

Maybe simple and easy to use GUI Firewall.

You should try gufw. Great for simple setups! For more complicated ones you could use opensnitch.

Thanks. I will try all the suggested options and see which one is more convenient. :)

I use csf which isn't GUI, text only, but the configuration is so straightforward and simple that it's been my default for years now on server and desktop

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.
