A male chicken?

So, you don’t know what accessibility standards are. You’re just using a term, “accessibility”, to mean “the way that I want it to work”.

Which accessibility standards does Mastodon break?

Serious question: why not? What’s bad about that?

I can ssh in with Krusader and edit from Krusader’s GUI editor. I would probably still do it from the terminal because it’s faster, but it’s good to have more than one way to do things.

Pop feels like a phone OS.

I love fish, but I can see why POSIX purists would hate it. I haven’t run into any problems, but if I need to use bash, I have it installed, too. The biggest problem is that it doesn’t have wide adoption, so everybody assumes you’re using bash, and a lot of the bash commands don’t work in fish. So you have to be a bit of a power user if you want to do anything fancy.

Fortunately, Linux terminals are gorgeous and easy to use. I never wanted to use Windows’ com because it was so ugly and user-hostile. I know Powershell is a thing now, but it still looks ugly to me.

Was gonna say, never had anyone tell me to use a GUI over CLI

Do you ever use the CLI, though?

It isn’t condescending. It’s the easiest and simplest way to do a thing. Additionally, there’s a wide variety in GUI options on Linux, so if I’m helping somebody out, I’m going to give the terminal commands. Not because I’m a terminal elitist or some nonsense, but because I know it will work regardless of whatever their GUI setup is. I might know where to go in KDE, but I don’t know where it would be in GNOME or any other desktop environment I’m unfamiliar with. The terminal command is going to be the same for everybody, though.

How were you installing from the command line? Like, what commands were you using?

You just need to know the name of the package you need to install.

On Garuda, you can enter the command in a terminal, and if isn’t installed, it will search and give you a list of packages to install from.

Linux has had a UI for decades now, and it looks a lot better than Windows. Take a look at Garuda.

The big problem with web forums was dealing with spam.

Also, one thing this article overlooked is that X is no longer indexed by Google, because you’re required to log in to read most things.

What are you having trouble with? Which distros have you tried?

I have to use Windows at work. Once, apropos of nothing at all, a system pop-up asked me if I wanted to buy an XBox controller. When I lock the screen and come back, sometimes Edge will have opened all by itself, presenting me with the Bing homepage. Nice try, Microsoft!

And I like having my software up-to-date. It sucked ass when I was on Mint and one of my favorite programs had an update and I had to wait months for it to hit the repos.

Certain people get angry if you do not refer to it as GNU/Linux.

I’ve never seen this happen. I’ve heard a lot of people complaining about these people, though.

It’s like veganism. I’ve never met a militant vegan, but I’ve heard tons of people complain about them.

I think it’s an effective strategy to avoid taking about real issues.
