FR-AI / ANALYSISWhy it is worth attention
It combines a broad set of Linux desktop controls into one GTK4 app, uses runtime tool detection so unavailable features stay visibly disabled, and achieves this with zero third-party Go dependencies.
Who it is for
- Linux desktop users who want a unified system settings hub
- Go developers interested in GTK4 bindings via CGo
- System administrators managing desktop systems with systemd and NetworkManager
- Users on custom or minimal Linux setups needing tool-aware controls
Use cases
- Manage Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, and audio from one adaptive interface
- Adjust brightness, power profiles, monitors, and wallpapers
- View and control systemd services, autostart entries, and journal logs
- Switch GTK and icon themes and change time/date/NTP settings
Strengths
- Adaptive sidebar shows grayed-out views when dependencies are missing
- Covers 16 system areas in a single GTK4 panel
- Zero third-party Go dependencies, using stdlib and handwritten CGo GTK4 bindings
- Session-cached sudo prompt with visibility toggle and pkexec fallback
Considerations
- Requires recent build dependencies: Go 1.26+ and GTK 4.22+ development headers
- Each view depends on external Linux tools such as nmcli, systemctl, xrandr, and brightnessctl
- Linux-specific and tied to tools/hardware availability, so some views may be unavailable on many systems
README quick start
System Panel
An adaptive GTK4 system control panel built with Go and CGo. Detects available system tools at runtime and presents only the views you can actually use.
Features
- Adaptive sidebar — views for missing dependencies appear grayed out rather than hidden
- 16 built-in views: LAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Volume, Monitors, Wallpapers, Brightness, Services, Autostart, Journal, Battery, Power Profile, Time & Date, Themes, Icons, Settings
- Daemon auto-start — Wi-Fi, LAN, Bluetooth, and Volume views detect inactive services and offer one-click start buttons
- Wi-Fi connection editor — create/edit NetworkManager profiles with tabbed settings (Wi-Fi, Security, IPv4, IPv6)
- LAN connection management — list and connect to Ethernet profiles
- Backlight control — slider-based brightness adjustment per display via
brightnessctl - Power profile switching — switch between power-saver, balanced, and performance modes via
powerprofilesctl - Time & Date — set system time, date, timezone, and NTP toggle via
timedatectl - GTK theme switcher — browse and apply GTK4/GTK3 themes instantly
- Icon theme switcher — browse and apply icon themes instantly
- Monitor arrangement — set resolution and relative positioning for multi-monitor setups via
xrandr - Wallpaper manager — browse and set wallpapers from ~/Pictures/Wallpapers using
fehorhsetroot - Service unit editor — inspect and edit systemd unit files with sudo
- Sudo dialog — session-cached password with visibility toggle and pkexec fallback
- Zero third-party Go dependencies — pure stdlib + GTK4 via CGo
