GUI more like ewwie

I open it up and see beautiful moving colours! hohahaha! and everything feeeels sloower

Yeah showing people how the terminal works is great for power users, but it does nothing for the average user, and kinda is part of the reason so many people think that all linux is is the terminal

Really as much as the more tech savvy might not like it, if we want to see higher adoption of linux we need to spread awareness of just how much easier it is to do things in the Linux GUI than it is in Windows

Like for instance, I can install almost whatever I would ever want with a click of a button without opening a browser, meanwhile I've never managed to get the Microsoft store to actually install things that I paid real money for

Can’t we just use settings menu?

Which one? I heard Microsoft's up to three now

I think git's CLI is not a good user interface but with how ubiquitous it is as a VCS, it's better to power through the oddities and become proficient in it.

This is myself with my colleagues. I use Lazygit and GitUI daily, otherwise I would spend a lifetime typing out numerous Git commands every day. And it is amazing how much one can do and how fast with these TUIs. But if a colleague needs something, and of course, they do not have these programs, all I can is just shrug and point them to the internet, as I have already forgotten all the little flags and parameters for more advanced commands. It is incredible how easy these TUIs make Git to use.

Hmm, now that I think about it, I want to say a GUI provides a (potentially false) sense of security.

At the very least, it gives an intuitive sense of direction, so that you can use a program with very little understanding of it. Things like Handbrake over ffmpeg I'd prefer over having to look up how to do 2-pass conversions online every time I want to make one.

The menus tell you all of the things it can do in a relatively intuitive way. It's easier and quicker to get started than reading the help/man page and remembering commands. Much shallower learning curve -- but of course, a much lower ceiling on what you can do as your proficiency grows.

At some point, I realize that I'm furiously clicking the up arrow twenty times just to reenter a command that was two words long anyway and far quicker to type out. Not even CTRL+R would make it more efferent than typing.

Basically me whenever I try to use Linux on a permanent basis. What's that, you want to run a program at boot? You'll have to do it all in CLI and there's a pretty high chance you'll brick the OS. Oh, and don't make any spelling mistakes!
