There are some very good standards for the names of basic Unix utilities thanks to POSIX. Not only do the commands vary between distributions, but also between different versions of the same distro. RedHat 5.x had control-panel and Glint. https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-5.0-Manual/user-guide/doc064.html RedHat 6.x added linuxconf and Gnome-RPM https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-6.2-Manual/ref-guide/ch-sysconfig.html#S1-SYSCONFIG-LINUXCONF By RedHat 8 it was moved to the redhat-config-* syntax https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/ch-printing.html And with Fedora it changed again. Switch to another distro, and you have Yast or webmin or.... Makes our linux skills less than portable if you rely on the GUI tools.
