Since we advise beginner users to keep a list of commands on file, and it even has such article in the wiki
i decided to share with you my list of frequently used command. However, i decided i want it a bit more fancy and interactive, so i made it in form of a dialog menu. Here it is, my menu.sh

P.s. for the beginner users: save it as a file menu.sh in the ~/.local/bin hidden Folder (create if needed) then right click and in the permissions tab in properties select allow to execute as a program.
Then you can start in the terminal with menu.sh. You can even make a launcher on the panel, just donât forget to set it to run in terminal and append -launcher at the end of the command. And if some subcommand does not work, check if you have the dependency in the comment on the corresponding line. Like this in a XFCE panel:
@GaVenga No idea. I have to test when i have some orphans. For now i just read the man page. @Yochanan it is enabled, once a week by default. It is just in case i want to do it manually, for example after a massive timeshift clean of hundreds of GB or something like that.
Given you are already targeting orphans and using the -s flag ⌠the -u here is likely redundant.
But you may wish to include -n to remove âsavefilesâ as well.
(I usually remove packages this way ⌠omitting it means .pacsave files may be retained)
ex: sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qdtq)
Though it may be arguably more safe to use without n. Dealers choice I suppose.
Teo, Since you posted this real helpfull cheatsheet, Iâve been coming over once and a while, hoping there would be updates.
Now that PLASMA6 is rolled out and kernel 6.8 is fresh to use, I thought Iâd come and ask if you would be so kindly as to post you lastest cheatsheet for the lazy ones amongst us
The latest is above from yesterday when i added a simple single core benchmark to compare the performance after, for example, switching kernels.
I do not have anything plasma specific because i am using xfce.
Another small update - check which dependencies of a wanted package are already installed.
The initial idea was to check sizes too (how much more disk space would i need), that came to be unexpectedly hard to calculate - firstly because the dependencies have dependencies too, so it will be loops in the tree to problematic for a oneliner, and secondly it turns out every time a package âprovidesâ something with a different name, the new name comes in the loop and the size of smth nonexisting errors out (like noto-fonts provides ttf-fonts and the script tries to check the size of ttf-fonts). So i left that idea for a while.

I must be missing something.
Ever since the Xdialog version came out none of the entries are working.
It just returns me to the command line not running the command.
Well, the dependencies for the menu are only xdialog, gtk2 and gtk-engine-murrine. And i have worked with bash for the commands, so there might be some difference if using zsh for example, i do not know.
edit: no, it is not zsh, i just tried 1-2 commands in it.
New version:Attempt to fix some compatibility problems in the gui version. Try as is and report, if you replace Xdialog with dialog in line 58 it should also work in tui mode if you have dialog installed

p.s. and another iteration, checking for dependencies and falling back to dialog automatically (will not help Maybl8 because there is something strange/wrong with his Xdialog, but for everybody else in the future. Maybl8 can just replace the 2 instances of âwhich Xdialogâ with âwhich XXXXXâ for example)
