    Why would it though? If performing an action through the terminal shaves off only 2-3 seconds who cares?

    If I want to open firefox though the terminal I can do that, sure…or I can just point and click on my taskbar/desktop. The time difference is virtually unnoticeable.

    There’s a reason GUIs blew up. It’s not just because of user accessibility. There are legitimate things that are faster or less of a hassle with GUIs and I feel like the Linux community forgets that sometimes. Like using the terminal somehow makes them superior.

    THANK YOU.

    I spent time learning vim and using a file manager (forgot which one) but after awhile I realized it’s less frustrating just using a damn GUI. I feel like the time difference isn’t too much discernible. More than anything vim is just frustrating.

    When you master the tab key and the mouse cursor in a text editor, it’s a breeze.

    I feel like the shell becomes much more complicated when you want to use configs. Or anything other than basic commands. At that point it becomes a pain in the ass, or tedious.

    Other than that I agree. Also, GUI file managers are still superior. Sue me.

    I swear it feels like for a lot of the things I do on Linux there’s a GUI app for it, but then if I wanna do something as basic as adjust my fan speed I gotta use the freaking terminal.

    Like it’s always at the worst possible time.

    Edit: I’ve installed a distro on my gaming PC that I really liked, used it on my laptop. Sensors and fans were fully supported. Did not work at all on my PC so I told it to fuck off. It’s just too much of a pain to set up.
