So just to be clear I went with a very lazy move to linux from windows. I was not looking to use my day to day in a unixy type way and wanted something that I can install and go without much muss or fuss. So I went with zorin and yeah I have dropped to the command line for some apt installs or such but bascially it was only as needed. Very minimal. Anyway today Im messing with folders and files and suddenly it hit me. Im on linux I can do a lot of this easier with the command line. I know its stupid but my day to day sorta has a mouse brain guie mode and I sorta forget how much easier it is to do some stuff using syntax. So going forward im going to be bringing up the command line to do the things that are quicker.
EDITED - guys I have used command line for years. before there even was a gui. Im trying to say I grew out of the habit but using linux at home is getting me back into it.
To me the best use of cli is troubleshooting remotely. I don’t mean like ssh I mean like talking over the phone. It’s easier to say “type in this command” then say "at the top of the window there should be a menu bar, near the right, no not all the way to right, no don’t click the red x, it should say tools, move your mouse over tools, God damn it I said DON’T click the red x, now we have to start over, click the icon on the desktop, no I don’t know why it’s called icon, it doesn’t mean anything religious, please just open the application… I don’t care if you are Christian and find the term icon offesive… Hurry up I am late for the AA meeting I need after dealing with people like you. " wait the problem may just be coworkers…
