Help me understand the possibilities of Bash (best uses, etc)
Aside from the obvious uses - command line scripts - you can also do quite a bit with the GUI. Check out Yad for bash script GUI. X11 related tools like wmctrl, xdotool allow you to create spectacular scripts. I write and use numerous dynamic menus created with bash + jgmenu.

I saw somewhere a program that transformed every terminal command into GUI. Someone know it?
Are you referring to yad?
-
How do you actually install steamtinkerlaunch? It requires the YAD dependency and I can’t figure out how to install it.
git clone https://github.com/v1cont/yad.git yad-dialog-code
-
What are some useful cli tools that arent popular?
yad - Program allows you to display GTK+ dialog boxes from command line or shell scripts. YAD depends on GTK+ only.
-
What are the tools that improve your workflow by a lot?
yad pushing your shell scripts to the next level via user inputs. For example i wrote a small script which lets me select an environment and an app and the url+port is written into the clipboard.
-
Most feature rich file manager?
I make a lot of use of yad (which I think is in the standard repository) to give a GUI-like feel to my scripts. yad is a significant advance over zenity.

Right-click menu
make a binding on an empty workspace that calls a yad script at the cursor

Script for dialog box asking if I want too launch programs on the weekend
You might want to look at yad to add a GUI dialogue box to your script. Something like:
-
Showing GUIs from Shell Scripts
I like yad[0] for this. For example, I use it to present a GUI color picker to change/insert colors in Vim (via a plugin called vCoolor[1]). I also use it in some i3/sway scripts that need user input or to show a progress bar.

how to build linux apps with GUI?
zenity should be a simple start https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/zenity (and apparently there is a fork too https://github.com/v1cont/yad but haven't tried it)

Sequential and parallel execution of long-running shell commands
You can probably do a good subset it in bash, it's just a nicer interface with a lot of configurability and several convenience features.
I'm generally a big fan of showing alternatives: https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue/?tab=readme-ov-file#similar...
Would you be willing to write a proper guide on how to do all of these things in bash? It would be great to have this as guide an alternative inside the Pueue wiki and link to it. It'll help people to make a more informed decision on whether they need this tool or not.

Looking for a pueue debian maintainer
there is a command line manager for long running tasks called Pueue. It is released into Nix, Arch, Alpine, Void, etc, but not for Debian based distros. I know that releasing into Debian is a bit more challenging, but I just wanted to ask if anybody here might be interested in packaging it. Just as a disclaimer, I am not the author of this project, just a regular user.

Can't find the name of a tool...
This one? https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue

Systemd timer having service running one after the other at a set time.
How about this: https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue/? I have it bookmarked from a thread here from few years back and never got to test it eventually, but maybe it will serve your purposes?
-
How can I run commands in parallel and write the output of each command to different linux terminals, one linux terminal for each command running in parallel.
Multiplexing is great for your multiple outputs, but I would highly recommend using pueue & pueued for job control. Lets you organize your background jobs into groups which can be paused, resumed, etc. Also lets you act on jobs from different terminals w/the pueue interface.
-
What "nice-to-have" CLI tools do you know?
pueue -- a queue for tasks, running in background
-
Why is Tmux better than neovim's built-in terminal?
For the command that takes a long time to complete, I always use pueue to run. This thing let you run multiple commands in order and can schedule the execution later which is really helpful to my workflow.
-
Should I use async or multiprocessing in my project and which library to use?
That said, you're basically building pueue. https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue/blob/main/ARCHITECTURE.md might give you some pointers. From reading it, there seems to be a mishmash of tokio stuff, and then everything gets serialised onto an MPSC channel (that's serviced by TaskHandler, on a single thread that's also responsible for polling for finished processes etc, every 200ms).
-
What do you use to copy large files from one HDD to another?
exchange for pueue and you can even queue them up.
-
What are some popular background job processing frameworks in the Rust ecosystem?
This is the only one I know of: https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue
