Tux Disc is a command line utility for downloading ISO images for Ubuntu and it's flavors, as well as KDE neon.
Tux Disc provides a simple, easy to use interface, that makes it a breeze to download Ubuntu ISO images.
This is pretty much a little project of mine born from my wanting to choose which Ubuntu flavor's 17.10 daily testing ISO I wanted to download, and just kinda ended up becoming this whole thing for downloading a bunch of Linux distributions install images.
You can get Tux Disc by compiling the source code.
To compile and install Tux Disc from source,
- Download the source code, by either
- going to the releases page
- download the source code either as .zip or .tar.gz
- extract the contents of the archive
- using
git
to clone the repository - click on
Clone or Download
and click onDownload ZIP
- extract the contents of the archive
- going to the releases page
- Open a terminal window and
cd
into the folder for Tux Disc - Run
# ./build.sh
Once completed, Tux Disc can now be run either from your desktop's application launcher, or by running
$ tux-disc
In no particular order, these are some features/milestones that I have planned for future development
- Graphical user interface (buttons everywhere!)
- Flatpak/Snap packaging (for easier cross-distro distribution)
- Complete recoding into Python (Might make the GUI easier, and should make it easier to port to other OSes)
