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.

You may be able to use the CLI tool mmv, which can be installed through the apt package manager. It's great at renaming files that are starting a similar naming convention and ending with a similar naming convention, you could use mmv to move your files. It also suppose sum links and hardlinks. It's what I used to rename folders of tv shows when I need to do that.

I think I found it https://github.com/itchyny/mmv
This looks like it would be good for other files too. I'll check this out. Thanks!
