Boykisser Center
The Boykisser Center is one window for the things you’d otherwise look up commands for. Open it from the app menu, or run boykisser center.
The banner at the top shows your version, kernel, free disk space, the installed tools version and whether you’re online. Below it, the tiles are grouped:

Tiles that do system work open a terminal so you can see what’s happening and type your password. The terminal stays open when it’s done so you can read the result.
The Center follows your light or dark theme, so it never clashes with the rest of the desktop.
