Good, the cool thing is that distros for newbies or power users exist. They just want utilities making these actions more accessible. Being elitist serves no one in the long run.
There are plenty of times I want to actually just use the console regardless of OS. Linux, Mac, Windows. It’s easy enough to just make an icon on your desktop that runs the commands for you and you just double click.
what is it with linux nerds not understanding that you can have configurability without it being mandatory? i’m not saying the terminal shouldn’t exist, just that i shouldn’t have to use it
I mean - IOS exists for you friend. It’s not a superiority thing, it’s that you’re trying to use the wrong OS. Back to the walled garden. It’s safe there.
every time you need to open a terminal for some basic system operation is a defeat for the system
(i get that this is not a very common operation, but still)
Linux users used to be a heartier breed…
yes and that sucked. i’m glad we’re not like that anymore
We have valid reasons to bitch now cause we want non techies to be able to swap away from windows also.
Do we? I didn’t give a solid shit if people switch from Windows.
We? Apparently no. Me and most other users that want society to have real useable options? Yes.
I’ve heard this complaint since the '90s. Linux has continued to grow and thrive as a “real usable option” in that time.
If you want stupid-user friendly Linux experience get a tablet with Android on it.
You are stuck in the echo chamber of your own mind. This isn’t for me. Or for you. I want these changes for the idiots friend.
I don’t want an OS designed for idiots - that’s what IOS is and it’s a shitty walled-garden because it has to be.

Yes you should. It’s part of what makes Linux Linux.
it’s just an os, you’re not better just bc you memorized a bunch of terminal commands and willingly subjected yourself to a poorer user experience
if you don’t give a fuck about user freedom and just want to use a unix os, then fuck off to any bsd out there and stfu

And if you want to whine about needing to type and use a CLI then you can fuck right off back to IOS.
It’s it’s a command that is regularly used it should be baked into the gui somehow.
