I mean, i have things like window manager and browser graphical, but most other things are just way faster and easier to use as cli.

Maybe for people like us, CLI is easier. I grew up with a DOS pc, and started playing with Linux as soon as we had an Internet connection that I was allowed to use to download stuff.

For my parents, who actually are boomers, give them a CLI and they think something is broken.

I'm 18 years old. I legitimately thought command line is something for hackers more than 80% of my life. Yet, rest 20% of life was enough to make me love it. And it's kinda funny how it went CLI is main thing for computers -> trying to make everything GUI -> now CLI is popular again

If you’re a systems/network engineer or a dev, the CLI is your home.

I grew up with Windows (the first version I used was 7, close to the launch of 10) and even I think CLI is easier (I now use NixOS)

I enjoy a good cli or tui any day, but still sometimes fallback to a GUI for some stuff.

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I definitely still use GUI, just when mostly in Windows.

[-] Hagarashi8@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

It sounds like it should be other way, but same.

Thank you for your correct opinion.

Sure, if you live and breath the same tools 24/7.

I like the concept but feel like an idiot everytime I have to google "How do I [insert simple task here]" because I can't remember the syntax, where a GUI would handheld me in a much better way through finding back what I used to be familiar with.

[-] Hagarashi8@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I do -h or --help in those cases. Usually, this is enough.

What's CLI

[-] Hagarashi8@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Command Line Interface

[-] mustyOrange@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Gui with keyboard shortcuts is the right mix of efficient and approachable imo
