   If there is a way to add udev rules and access udevadm via a GUI I don't   
   know it. I've also had a machine which did not select the proper screen   
   resolution nor was the resolution an available option in the GUI. xrandr   
   to the rescue.   
      
   In some cases if you're working with multiple DEs something like nmcli is   
   a uniform approach rather than hunting down where that particular DE   
   stuffs the relevant GUI.   
      
   I've also come to prefer arduino-cli.  The Arduino IDE doesn't add much to   
   the editing process that Vim can't be configured to do and has the habit   
   of spawning a new GUI every time you do something.   
      
   On windows the cli allows me to view and manipulate files Windows would   
   prefer I didn't know about like all the stuff under \Users\foobar.
