Identify GUI binaries in /usr/bin via ELF dynamic section inspection

Detects true graphical applications (Qt, GTK, SDL, FLTK, wxWidgets) by parsing ELF dynamic tags with readelf -d instead of relying on .desktop files or executing binaries. It ignores protocol-only CLI utilities (like xset or xrandr) by targeting widget toolkits directly rather than base display server libraries (like libX11 or libwayland-client).
This is sample output - yours may be different.

Quick regional screen recording to MP4 via slurp

A lightweight and dependency-minimal way to record a selected region of your Wayland screen. By using `slurp`'s custom formatting directly (`%wx%h+%x+%y`), we eliminate the need for piping through helper tools like `sed` or `awk` to construct the geometry argument for `gpu-screen-recorder`. Requirements: slurp, gpu-screen-recorder
This is sample output - yours may be different.

gpu-screen-recorder -w "$(slurp -f "%wx%h+%x+%y")" -f 60 -o "$HOME/rec_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).mp4"
