Weird use of Alastor... Is the terminal going to chop them up with an axe and hang their smile up?
You guys must be using a pretty metal distro.
Sometimes file operations are easier in GUI. That's... pretty close to being all though. As long as you're willing to use the best tool for the job as needed, that's what counts.
If you are moving/deleting multiple (but not all) files in a directory I 100% agree. But as soon as you just handle single files or directory's I'm usually faster with the terminal. This is especially true when you have to edit config file. No way I Am searching my way through /etc/ in a GUI
There must've been a new season released, seeing this mfer everywhere
There was!
Them: uninstalling Linux
surprised pikachu face
kernal bug disables their graphics driver
they have no gui and have never learned how to run a command
noone's there to help them learn this time
they cry and uninstall linux (the graphics could be fixed with a one-liner if they had learned to not have terminal phobia)
unsurprised pikachu face
It's both funny and sad you seriously think this is a good argument.
A modern, accessible OS comes with graphical rollback features or even self-repair routines (but usually the first one for Linux in the form of bootable snapshots, or at least the last working kernel at minimum).
If your distro doesn't have the last working kernel available to boot they fail even the most basic thing of disaster recovery.
I'm more than glad there are, by now, more and more distros (and DE's) who finally good both the understanding as well as contributors and money to build an OS for everyone, not just sysadmins. Which includes a full GUI toolchain as integral part for basic accessibility. To expect everyone to become essentially a sysadmin when running Linux is the most common kind of harmful ignorance in the Linux community, and it's good this notion is slowly changing. If you like it or not, understanding abstract CLI commands that often work with OS design concepts (especially in emergency situations like yours) are junior sysadmin level stuff and hardly accessible to a majority of people outside if this bubble we're currently talking in. And people get immediately scolded for entering commands they don't understand, so any common user is effectively being left alone in your scenario. Alienating interested people like this is one major reason why we were stuck in a niche for almost 3 decades.
So please, talk to people outside of the Linux bubble (who may focus on other professions and abilities that take all their time, which you may even take for granted as available services) and try to empathize with their needs and point of view.
Shoutout to the lads at Bazzite, Mint, KDE, Flatpak and other projects for doing awesome work.
Well yeah, I wouldn't want my OS to take my graphics away randomly.
How do I bake the best chocolate chip cookies?
first, you open chatgpt
But my highly complicated git UI will let me do the same thing with 100 clicks and without understanding what I'm doing!
Not the terminal demon!!
How do I configure kde settings easier in the terminal than the gui?
"And type systemsettings5, hit enter"
Man pages are wonderful, yes.
psh
Having PERL be a shell style environment was hilariously slow. Entertaining, but slow.
Oh it's you. The reason mainstream adoption among normal users isn't here yet. Glad to meet you Satan. 🤝
The reason I Am always using the terminal is, since I on one hand prefer it than having to click through changing GUIs and for some things I dont even know how to do them with a GUI. First thing to come to mind is flashing an ISO file to a USB. While I know that balena Etcher exists, it never worked a single fucking time on various Distros. No matter if I used the AppImage or flatpack. So at some point I just started remembering the command for dd to do the exact same thing that works every single time.
