Really enjoying LinuxSetupPro so far — clean install, honest error messages, great tool overall. One thing that would make it a lot more flexible: right now running python3 main.py immediately jumps into Primary Setup with no choice involved. If I just want to check the last report, or regenerate my terminal banner, or go straight to the Secondary tools menu (after already running Primary once before), I have to either let Primary run again or dig into the CLI flags in the README.
Would be great to have a simple menu on launch instead, something like:
LinuxSetupPro — Main Menu
- Run Primary Setup
- Run Secondary Setup
- Generate Terminal Banner
- View Last Report
- Exit
A few thoughts on how this could work well:
Since Secondary tools assume Primary has already set up the base environment, it'd make sense to block Secondary until Primary has been run at least once, with a prompt offering to run it first if someone tries to jump straight to Secondary on a fresh install.
"View Last Report" would be really useful as its own menu option — right now there's no easy way to just check what happened on the last run without re-running anything.
Please keep the existing CLI flags (--only primary, --report, etc.) working as-is for those of us who script this or use it non-interactively — the menu should just be the new default when running it plain, not a replacement for the flags.
Happy to test this once it's in, this would make the tool feel a lot more like a proper CLI utility.
Tasks (proposed):
- Add main menu shown after the startup banner, before any install begins
- Gate Secondary Setup behind a check that Primary has run at least once, with a warn-and-offer-to-run-Primary flow if not
- Add "View Last Report" as a menu option
- Confirm existing CLI flags continue to bypass the menu unchanged
- Update README screenshots/docs to reflect the new default flow
