# Command Center
A Python console application I created for my dad, who bravely switched from Windows to Linux but is still deathly afraid of the terminal.
This handy tool offers a range of utilities specially tailored for my dad:
- Schedule computer shutdown
- Automatically or manually download Polish subtitles from [napiprojekt](https://www.napiprojekt.pl/)
- Install `OTF` and `TTF` fonts (or uninstall previously installed ones)
- Convert `.doc`, `.docx`, `.odt`, `.odf` files to PDF
- Merge multiple PDF files into one (sequentially)
- Mix pdf pages (e.g., 1st page from file A, 2nd page from file B, etc.)
- Turn [Plex](https://www.plex.tv/) on or off (if installed)
- Automatically update the script via Git (if the repository has been cloned)
Unfortunately, the program is in Polish (and the instructions are more than overly verbose), adding a touch of linguistic charm to its functionality.
**I am only responsible for the damages done to my dad's computer, not yours. Proceed at your own risk.**
