Linux-Assistant: A Linux assistant made in Dart and Python
Yesterday, we offered you a publication called «PyGPT: Open source AI personal assistant written in Python» in which, just as its name says, we address an innovative and robust open source development called PyGPT, which seeks to offer un cross-platform, open source AI personal assistant and written in Python, with extensive capabilities (chat, vision, completion, image generation, command execution and more).
But, not everything necessarily has to carry AI technology to be functional, useful and beneficial for many. For example, Productivity Apps, here at Desde Linux, we have covered many. For example, Brain, Albert and Kufer, among many others. While, similar ones with a slightly different focus have been Application Launchers like gnome foot, Ulauncher and Synapse, or others like Jarvis, Betty, Dragon Fire y LPI-SOA. But, today, we will explore a quite interesting, modern, different and more technical app called "Linux-Assistant", which seeks to offer a useful desktop technical assistant (Graphic/GUI) made especially for Linux with the Dart, Flutter and Python languages.

But, before entering fully into the topic of this publication on "Linux-Assistant", we recommend that after finishing the current reading you explore the previous related post where we briefly mention the PyGPT project:
Linux-Assistant: A GUI technical assistant for Linux made in Dart and Python
What is Linux-Assistant?
In his Official website, this desktop application called "Linux-Assistant" It is briefly described by its developers as follows:
It is a daily Linux assistant with powerful built-in searches, routines and checks.
While, in his official section on GitHub add the following:
It is a daily Linux assistant built with Dart, Flutter and Python that offers with powerful built-in searches, routine checks and administrative tasks.
Which translates to, it is a graphic and technical application for direct use by users of computers to achieve various objectives, such as:
- Quickly launch applications or open folders that have been recently marked or used. Also, directly find files, web pages or bookmarks from recently installed and used web browsers.
- Verify various security configurations of the computer where it is installed and verify the current state of the GNU/Linux operating system that runs it.
- Schedule and execute automatic actions, such as configuring automatic snapshots for the operating system or performing pending operating system updates.
But in reality, this open source app, which is still in the development stage with a current trial version (0.4.4 dated January 2023), is much more powerful than we could describe here in a few words. Therefore, it is advisable to explore the following official link and validate current and future functionalities that are added over time.
And another important fact is that It has installers in .deb, .rpm and tar.gz formats. Therefore, it is easily installable and usable on the following Distributions and Desktop Environments, whose optimal functioning has also been certified:
Installing the program
In our case, we have installed it using the respective .deb package, over our usual Respin Miracles, which is based on the Distro MX Linux 23 (Debian 12) and in its first start this has been the step by step of its initial use and the windows and options shown:
Summary
In summary, "Linux-Assistant" It is one of those innovative apps that is worth it try and get the most out of our GNU/Linux Distributions in order to get the best out of them in terms of productivity. And of course, to contribute to its development, either by reporting bugs or suggesting improvements, and even contributing with its code or donating financial resources for its development.
