Hello everyone! I know that Linux GUI advanced in last few years but we still lack some good system configuration tools for advanced users or sysadmins. What utilities you miss on Linux? And is there any normal third party alternatives?

    I’m missing a lightweight (not like Thunderbird) contacts app, that can work with CardDAV and allow me to see, search and edit my contacts.

      vCardStudio is pretty nice GUI wise but the backend could be more robust, it doesn’t read all my files.

        For me gnome apps are not “lightweight” and work fine only all together (Evolution + gnome-contacts + other gnome tools)

          You don’t need evolution for gnome-contacts and I’m not sure how much more lightweight a contact app can get. It literally does nothing but list and edit contacts, and works with dav via gnome-accounts.
