Searching for a GUI that allows me to run custom terminal commands
A summary of my use case: I like to watch Twitch streams via streamlink. For that purpose I use wtwitch, a terminal program which allows me to maintain a list of my favourite channels without a Twitch account, check which of those streamers are currently online and run a command to open their streams via streamlink.

2.7M Brits still use a 3G only handset, as the 3G switch off looms closer
I have a 3G device still able to watch YT and a very old Kindle Fire that has NewPipe [1] installed for watching YT in bed (whilst my phone is on charge).
I don't see why not either - if the device was capable of H264 when it was released, why not now?
