A male chicken?

Serious question: why not? What’s bad about that?

Bio alarm

Do you have stairs in your house?

I can ssh in with Krusader and edit from Krusader’s GUI editor. I would probably still do it from the terminal because it’s faster, but it’s good to have more than one way to do things.

Here I thought that the Taoist canon was only the Tao Te Ching (which is pretty short).

canon = approved literature

cannon = large gun that fires grapeshot, etc.

Pop feels like a phone OS.

I love fish, but I can see why POSIX purists would hate it. I haven’t run into any problems, but if I need to use bash, I have it installed, too. The biggest problem is that it doesn’t have wide adoption, so everybody assumes you’re using bash, and a lot of the bash commands don’t work in fish. So you have to be a bit of a power user if you want to do anything fancy.

Fortunately, Linux terminals are gorgeous and easy to use. I never wanted to use Windows’ com because it was so ugly and user-hostile. I know Powershell is a thing now, but it still looks ugly to me.

Was gonna say, never had anyone tell me to use a GUI over CLI

Do you ever use the CLI, though?

It isn’t condescending. It’s the easiest and simplest way to do a thing. Additionally, there’s a wide variety in GUI options on Linux, so if I’m helping somebody out, I’m going to give the terminal commands. Not because I’m a terminal elitist or some nonsense, but because I know it will work regardless of whatever their GUI setup is. I might know where to go in KDE, but I don’t know where it would be in GNOME or any other desktop environment I’m unfamiliar with. The terminal command is going to be the same for everybody, though.

How were you installing from the command line? Like, what commands were you using?

You just need to know the name of the package you need to install.

On Garuda, you can enter the command in a terminal, and if isn’t installed, it will search and give you a list of packages to install from.

Linux has had a UI for decades now, and it looks a lot better than Windows. Take a look at Garuda.

What are you having trouble with? Which distros have you tried?

I have to use Windows at work. Once, apropos of nothing at all, a system pop-up asked me if I wanted to buy an XBox controller. When I lock the screen and come back, sometimes Edge will have opened all by itself, presenting me with the Bing homepage. Nice try, Microsoft!

You mean “greater fool”. As in, you’re looking for somebody who’s a greater fool than you to sell to.

I had a boss who once told me that there are two things you should never force: love and machines. If you have to try that hard, you’re doing it wrong.

Hallelujah! Amen!
