There are two often-used commands for basic GUI messages (notifications) from CLI scripts: zenity
and notify-send
.
It may sound as a useless question, but for a project (that just needs to show some notifications) I am trying to find out the differences between these two.
So I noticed notify-send
(provided by libnotify
according to dnd) is installed, but zenity
is not. Both are actually included by default on Fedora Workstation.
So why did it happen?
Can I infer from that that notify-send
may be more popular/common across distros than zenity
?
