Linutil is a distro-agnostic Linux toolbox built in Rust that provides an interactive terminal UI (TUI) for installing applications, configuring systems, and running common Linux setup tasks. It can be run via a single curl command or installed through package managers like AUR, openSUSE repos, or Cargo.

Use cases

  • set up applications on a fresh Linux install
  • optimize and tweak my Linux system
  • apply firewall security baselines with UFW or FirewallD
  • install gaming dependencies like Wine, Vulkan, and MangoHud on Linux
  • run common Linux setup tasks from one tool
  • manage system configuration across different distros

When to choose

  • you want a single interactive tool to handle everyday Linux setup and tweaks across distros
  • you prefer inspectable open-source shell scripts over manual configuration
  • you want quick one-command execution without permanent installation

When to avoid

  • you need fully unattended, idempotent configuration management like Ansible
  • you are on a non-Linux platform such as macOS or Windows
  • you require guaranteed stability, as the project is under active development and features may change
