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.

Ages ago I did this with some cli tool that found episode/movie metadata stored in themoviedb or somewhere and just built a shell script around it. I don't remember the name unfortunately. Now I just let Plex manage it and I don't bother.

This looks like it might work though:
