Looking for a bulk episode renaming application for Linux (beehaw.org)

Hey all. I'm looking for a bulk episode renaming application for Linux, preferably GUI. Before switching, I used Rename My TV Series 2 on Winblow. But I can't seem to get it to work on my Pop_os 22.04. Any good alternatives would be appreciated. Thanks!

Update: A lot of the suggestions seemed too high level for what I wanted; I don't care about how the images or posters look, I just wanted to remove the excess junk at the end of the episode names easily. The point is "H265 CougarDiverRips 1080p" isn't really important after I download it.

Solution: Rename My TV Series 2 Linux version kept giving sqlite errors even after installing required dependencies. So I installed the Winblows version with wine. Works as expected without errors, simple drag and drop select series and go.

This is a really important point! Needing two copies of a media server so one has a backup really complicates the whole point of simplification that a media server theoretically presents. Also, what sounded great in 2007 is always worth a bit of scrutiny now with a wildly different streaming landscape.

Still, with what Paramount is doing with their IP, Trek overall is something I feel a need to have a local copy of (see: Prodigy). Case-by-case assessment is, as you note, a good use of time.

What turbocharged my server ambitions was having stepkids of that age where everything they want to watch is replete with ads tailored to their lack of understanding of the world, and it quickly became apparent that hearing a half-dozen times a day about what they "need" wasn't going to fly. When you need half the Disney Channel in real time, you have a new full-time job.
