Notepad++ is good but a bit bloated. Would not call it rubbish. Node is solid.

Got it not even you can think of anything to defend clis inferiority.

Why would i install random software some rando on some random site tells me to to do a function my preinstalled gui(and terminal) can out of the box?

Sure terminal can be better in a few cases but the fact you are typing this from a guy browser on a gui os speaks for itself.

Your guide did literally nothing other than return errors. Seems like even you don’t know how to do this. And you follow wrong instructions that don’t work up with asking for coordinates of buttons for gui, this is scraping the bottom of the barrel. As in you’ve gone through the barrel, through the bottom, dug through the entire earth and are scraping the bottom of another barrel from under it.

I like the terminal on linux a lot, but with arguments like these you need to touch grass at least once a year my friend.

Okay then how do I mount my drive through terminal and set it to automount every time and change it’s name to appear as “disk 3” everywhere?

Realizing how often I need to unfuck windows bullshit with regedit, commandline, installing more programs like putty for more command lines and 20 poorly made control panels drove me to linux finally cause I thought I might as well do everything consistently from one place: terminal.

Now I realize I haven’t had to use terminal for anything except tunneling to schools remote server to run a webpage as part of my studies, run npm or to start a local database, things no normal user would ever do. Things I will never do again once I finish my school.

thing with gui is you don’t need to memorize button locations and menus. If you do it’s poor layout. Good gui lets you find things you didn’t know you were looking for intuitively, without external resources or manual. CLI requires you to know what exactly you are doing and is impossible to use without external resources. Nothing against terminal but unless you know what you are doing and every command required to complete that action, it’s ass. If gui was so bad and cli was so good, guis would not be used by anyone.

I mean you dont go around copy pasting device ids and running commands for 20 minutes to connect your device through terminal when it is done with 2 clicks in the gui even by someone who has never used a pc before.

Yes it is bad ux/ui but its better than windows regedit or its 20 control panels that don’t do the thing you want, or windows terminal that you use constantly and don’t notice.

T. I did not understand how anyone would like terminal for software and now i swear by my drop down console. But i agree, the few areas of terminal people mostly use should be covered by a gui, eg gnome having “open terminal in folder location” and gnome having ability to add repos to software center like kde.

I do not think any of them work but a hybrid system is good. Capitalism is like a fire, if you don’t control it you will burn everything, as US has shown. Capitalism where there is space for innovation, entrepeneurship and bringing new and fresh innovations to the market and being rewarded for it while providing a safety net of free education(up to phd), healthcare, affordable housing and basic income is what I think is ideal. Since freedom doesn’t mean freedom to do anything you desires, freedom means freedom to be able to fail without destroying your life. Here in europe we are pretty close to it and I will keep making political descisions to move the country towards it.

This is true but we have been there before and have overcome it multiple times. I quit fb but I found it hard since the car community for which I manufacture parts for is mostly there.

When enough people leave and start using something else, soon their closer friends and family cave in and also make accounts there. Eventually the switchover will cascade. Happened with orkut, myspace, google +. Sure FB is almost too big to fail but the one we need to fix the issue by is the site that will supercede fb, in my opinion.

The mechanism for community to punish buyouts and vandalisms is to abandon the platform when it becomes bad. It used to be common but now people have too low standards.

On one hand it’s rude not to learn the mother tongue of the country where you live. On the other hand not learning the mother tongue of the coutnry you’ve lived in all your life is peak russian culture.

Bath houses are terrorism and queer people are illegal now in us.

Normalize supporting software and sites through donations rather than ads.

If your community dies since nobody supports it, it was shit anyway.

Hurting someones feelings or being offended is the worst thing an american could ever go through. It absolutely tanks ad revenue.

Just learn to speak russian cause russians can use every slur under the sky and they do in almost every sentance. Double standard.

The companies doing this are americans and americans are pussies who think sitting in sauna naked with your same-sex family members is traumatic but watching endless gore is fun. The mindless religious zealotry, their puritan ancestors and lack of separation between church and real life is to blame.

More users = more support for programs and hardware on linux, more open source and freedom policies rather than maximising shareholder value. Less and less troubleshooting and figuring out why your shit you really need to work doesn’t work.

It benefits everyone, even the people who are in denial about good ux.

I mean id you think navigating through folders in terminal and using other shitty tools to create a template file is mentally stimulating or difficult task and teaches anything about linux other than that linux is unfinished and has massive oversights, you are not as clever as you think you are.

In case you don’t understand why your post needs to stand on it’s own, vectors in bitmap program are vectors until exported as bitmaps. They are very useful.
