You forgot the part where you have to look up what to write in the terminal whenever you want to do something, but I forgive you, it's easy to forget something you need to do daily.
You take the mouse and do clicky clicky. Luckily theres usually one control panel on linux in contrast to three more and more legacy versions in windows where you need to go three levels deep in order to change the local ip address.
I literally click one button and it starts the entire automated update process. The only interruption is asking for a password
You probably never used Linux. Or you used it 20 years ago.
Last time was... Oh... 4 months ago, before my RPi was put in storage?
RPI is ARM not X86_64.
You really think that's a proper equivalent?
Because it's not, it's not even the same at the terminal level because you're missing quite a number of select tools that aren't cross-compiled (yet).
Try Windows on ARM and compare it to the x86 version.
Not to mention both Linux and MacOS are way more developed on ARM than Windows is.
MacOS being the best ofc, thanks to the compatibility layer.
I believe your judging Linux too harshly based on an uneven playing ground.
Don't hurt your back with that goalpost my man!
Don't hurt yourself trying to comprehend the difference between ARM & x86_64 architecture my man!
Deadass, I challenge you to install Windows on that Raspberry Pie, actually use it for a week, film the whole thing and upload a video on "just how amazing and usable Windows on ARM is compared to it's X86 version" & seriously mean it. If you can do that, only then will your obvious troll energy turn into anything real. Fuck it, if you manage to install steam on Windows 11 ARM that'd be enough.
I've been there, done that. ಠ_ಠ
You realise the comment I was replying to was "I bet you never used Linux or you used it 20 years ago" and I simply replied to that and you're the one who decided to shift the conversation to talk about ARM vs x86/64 and their compatibility with other OS... Right? You realize you derailed the conversation?
RIGHT?
Nobody here; including the original comment you replied to; is talking about using Linux on an ARM device like a RPI except you.
Nore is Linux on a RPI an equivalent to using it on an actual desktop and that includes the terminal too because not every CLI tool outside of the coreutils has an ARM version or equivalent.
You realize bring up the RPI in your reply is completely irrelevant to the conversation... Right?
RIGHT?
No one except you is talking about using Linux on specific hardware and I was replying to a question after I talked about having to look up what to enter in the terminal, which is the same experience no matter if isn't ARM or x... God damn, how do you manage to tie your shoelaces in the morning?
Literally the entire fuckin post, comments and replies are about Desktop Linux.
Why the fuck do you think you got down voted when you brought up the RPI? Because it's completely irrelevant; You even literally said so yourself just now.
How the fuck do you remember to breathe when you're this inept?
If you want to talk about the terminal then talk about the terminal, don't be a smart ass thinking nobody will notice.
Why the fuck do you think you got down voted when you brought up the RPI.I mean... Look at the way you act in your replies and it's pretty clear why people get downvoted when they ridicule Linux users 🤔
How are you "ridiculing Linux users"?
You're the one who brought up a completely irrelevant topic and got all pissy when you got told it's not relevant. You shouldn't have even brought up the RPI to begin with and just ended it at "I used it 4 months ago..."
I'm done with your constant circle jerking because you can't put 2 & 2 together to make 4.
Imagine thinking the terminal is something to be forced into.
First off, you really don't need the terminal if you choose to avoid it. You can get by just fine with a GUI package manager included in the "user-friendly" Linux distros; which is essentially a graphical app store that handles all installs, uninstalls, updates & system updates for you with a point and click.
Second :
Tab key, Auto completion, command cycling, command highlighting, man pages, TLDR pages, and so on.
There's no; absolutely 0, zippo, nada; reason you should, need, or want to remember individual commands or how to use them when the previously mentioned exist.
If you have to do that to install anything, it's either always your package manager or something that can be copy-pasted from the included installation guide.
You don't even need the terminal in most cases. You have GUIs. Simple ones.
I'd rather have to type a line than struggle with installing 10 pieces of unnecessary bloatware individually
On the other hand, it takes only four letters and hitting enter for me to update everything installed on my pc so not that hard to memorize a few commands.
