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
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.
17 year old me learning Linux with Ubuntu: googles “Linux tutorial [thing I want to do] GUI”
30 year old me wrangling my 20th new Debian install: the only reason I’m installing a desktop environment is to make memes with GIMP and play Steam games. if I can’t change the setting using the terminal I’m probably not going to bother changing it.
Not the terminal demon!!
i am a cringe ass bitch and would unironically enjoy a terminal demon battling a GUI demon
oh also both spell it “daemon” *knee slap*
But my highly complicated git UI will let me do the same thing with 100 clicks and without understanding what I’m doing!
How do I bake the best chocolate chip cookies?
first, you open chatgpt
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.
There must’ve been a new season released, seeing this mfer everywhere
There was!
Man pages are wonderful, yes.
How do I configure kde settings easier in the terminal than the gui?
“And type systemsettings5, hit enter”
psh
Having PERL be a shell style environment was hilariously slow. Entertaining, but slow.
