Never tried it, but I will probably be more at home than python.

I prefer strongly typed languages. Using bytes isn’t intuitive.

Transforming certain data types into other data types is often not straightforward.

The identation is the worst though. Let me format the code however I want.

I just learned that in Python, it’s fucking terrible. Python is a fucking mess and my next script will be in a different language.

What a fucking leap. CLI does not equal complexity.

If you can write and read, you can use a CLI. Can you read and write? Great, you can learn CLI cmds.

People don’t want to use CLIs because unless you’ve been using computers before windows 95, chances are that all your life you’ve been using a GUI, and humans in general don’t like changes.

Going from Windows to any Linux distro is a big enough leap, and adding a new way to interact with your tool on top of that is too much at once for the vast majority of people.

With that said, a lot of Windows issues require you to use the CLI and mess with regedit to fix them. How is that any different than asking people to run a diagnostic command to troubleshoot their PC?

You can use a Linux distro through a GUI pretty much 99.9% of the time, just like Windows. The only difference is that on Linux, the CLI is much more powerful than the GUI, so the majority of users will use the CLI to troubleshoot.

Yeah, but regedit is a GUI. So it’s all cool and dandy.

It is a deliberate choice by corpos to dumb everything down so that they can lock people in their ecosystem.

If you don’t know how things work, it’s a lot harded to switch to a new ecosystem.

We were equally dumb when younger, it is just that we look at them now with the experience we accumulated.

And we can flip the table and ask why no one is taking the time to train these young people. Stop being an old grumpy person and help the next generation.

Were you drinking before posting this reply?

I much prefer using the terminal than the GUI if I can.

But I understand that not everyone likes the terminal.

To be fair, I couldn’t tell you how to run my file manager as root from the GUI because I don’t use it that much.

You don’t see how terrible Windows is until you’ve switched to another OS and need to interact with it again.

The constant pop-ups, the ads everywhere, the settings hidden away.

It really feels like your PC isn’t yours.

Dropshippers don’t advertise themselves as such.
