Meh who cares what people think lol

Awe man, you didn’t have to delete your comment… I was just busting your chops, I thought your comment added to the conversation.

Oh OK. And here I thought I was in a thread about a video game 😉

Isn’t this a free patch?

Some save scumming. A couple of false starts. Once or twice where I played a few hours before realizing that I fucked up several hours prior.

Yes, I know this is not how the game is meant to be played. No, I do not care.

How is more options a bad thing?

Oh shit good call, I’m in the same boat. I have like 100 hours and I’m still at the end of Act 1. Had to take a break, but it’s a hard game to come back to after a while.

Steam also has like the most generous return policy for video games ever

Bruh, it’s an Abrahamic religion, of course it’s hypocritical.

Can’t say that I blame them.

Why is it better than just using nano or whatever?

I use KDE, and I put a sticky note widget on my top bar, so when you click it, it drops down (and then disappears when you click off of it). Whatever is on it is saved between sessions.

Works great for this kind of thing.

Edit: I also put a webbrowser widget up there that points to this handy site: https://linuxcommandlibrary.com/

Same deal, click the icon and the site drops down.

yt-dlp?

I was thinking that a lot of them are too young to even know what those are… My thought was that they’ve been raised on GUI for everything, without being able to tinker even if they wanted to, that the entire concept of CLI is alien to them.

You don’t need to be into tech stuff. You can do everything in CLI that you can do in GUI (but not necessarily vice-versa). Just because you are better with visual shit doesn’t mean that either approach is “right” or “wrong.”

This is ultimately why I switched from Arch… Now I’ve just got an Arch distrobox and if it breaks, no big deal.

Sounds like a win/win if they no longer come to you for troubleshooting

The reason I had no problem whatsoever editing config files is because I’d been doing it for decades already in Windows with .ini files.

And not needing a terminal is different than not having access to one. Windows has a terminal.

If laptops started coming pre-installed with Linux Mint…

This is exactly how I felt when I switched to Linux and it “clicked”.

This is what personal computers were supposed to always be like before Capitalism ruined it for everyone.
