Grew up using GNU/Linux and I find it weird how many people are scared of using the terminal for things (no matter how simple) when it’s often the fastest and lightest way of doing something. Not everything is better in a GUI, a lot of things aren’t actually and are a worse or more cumbersome experience.
Also, it’s not the 1980s or 1990s anymore. Modern GNU/Linux and the various shells (i.e bash, zsh, fish, ect) and CLI based applications you have to choose from are a far cry from MS-DOS, or even 80s/90s era UNIX (which was much better than MS-DOS of the time, and is the lineage of modern GNU/Linux and other modern UNIX/UNIX-like operating systems). They’ve basically improved just as much as GUIs have in that time period, and once you learn how to use them you’ll probably find yourself preferring the terminal over graphical alternatives for many tasks.

I just converted back to windows again after trying linux a few times. Almost nothing works, and stuff that do work might not work the next day. And fuck the terminal!

Ok noob question here but I’m still a bit weary of the Unix file system.
Yes I understand the structures now but since everything is under root, if I were to fucked up or something were to have root access would it effect every drives attached?
Also how do I manage programs and packages? Because I got used to the way of installing things in Windows which you get to select where you want to install programs. Whereas in Linux most instructions are just sudo [package manager] install [program name] and God knows it installed to where, and how to uninstall it and all of its dependencies. (Before any Linux powerhouse user can blame me for having a “Windows” mindset I’m just asking if there’s anyway to use it that way, if not then I’ll learn to accept it).

My old manager. A year of thinking he had my back. Found out he had been taking credit for everything I delivered in meetings I was not even invited to. Put in my notice the same week.

This is why we stay in the terminal where nobody can hear us using sudo

HR will really lose it when he starts talking about killing processes, forking children, and running daemons in the background
