>>54427841
I don't think using a computer should require I read a manual, things should be intuitively mapped out so I never have to touch a CLI if I don't want to.
I don't advocate abolishment of CLI, just that I should be able to use my computer without having to resort to it. If I have to copy paste a command every time I want to do something or read the man page and then remember the command with all its arguments and switches then something is wrong.
Not one distro has managed this feat

README
Basic Installation:
1.Before attempting to compile this virus make sure you have the correct version of glibc installed, and that your firewall rules are set to ‘allow everything’.
2.Put the attachment into the appropriate directory eg. /usr/src.
3.Type ‘tar xvzf evilmalware.tar.gz’ to extract the source files for this virus.
4.‘cd’ to the directory containing the virus' source code and type ‘./configure’ to configure the virus for your system. If you're using ‘csh’ on an old version of System V, you might need to type ‘sh ./configure’ instead to prevent ‘csh’ from trying to execute ‘configure’ itself.
5.Type ‘make’ to compile the package. You may need to be logged in as root to do this.
6.Optionally, type ‘make check_payable’ to run any self-tests that come with the virus, and send a large donation to an unnumbered Swiss bank account.
7.Type ‘make install’ to install the virus and any spyware, trojans pornography, penis enlargement adverts and DDoS attacks that come with it.
8.You may now configure your preferred malware behaviour in /etc/evilmalware.conf.
>>54426880
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

But I like the command line. Why isn't it smarter. It's like the linux guys want nothing to change from the 80s. It's weird.
It should act and look more like sublime text or other text editors like that with possible commands popping up as you type.

>>54428199
I'd just like to interject for a moment.
What your referring to as 7zip is in reality GNU LGPLv2.1+ with unRAR restriction LZMA SDK in the public domain/7zip, or as I have recently taken to calling it, GNU LGPLv2.1+ with unRAR restriction LZMA SDK in the public domain+7zip.

Clearly, you must be wrong.
>>54428239
You do realize that that is a trivial thing to do in the command line, right?
>>54428707
p7zip uses the gui of linux's archive manager.
(Might already be installed)
but tar with -J flag (file.tar.xz) is as good a compression as anything.

Sadly there is absolutely zero dokumentation for that apart from the service files from p7zip.

not the game i play. and every game should be playbale. that right there is a reason as to why not use linux. don't get me wrong. i like linux. i dual boot and am using it right now. but windows has tings linux does not. as linux has tings windows does not. that damn honest hurts

you mean Linux is supposed to be irrelevant now because Windows includes reverse-wine (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

It's just an extension.

Windows runs bash, a single Unix program. Big whoop. They finally caught up. Linux has been able to run tons of Windows programs for years.

This faggot again. Have fun with your uglu waste of space, no functionality file explorer... with tabs!
Seriously though, shitty 3rd party haxxor extensions may be the only thing any Linux distro got right.

What functionality do you need, windumb? Also, if you think installing an extension means hacking you do not belong to a tech board. May be /v/ is the board you are looking for?

how about using a different shell?
Zsh has completion akin to what you're describing
>>54437919
It sounds like people like these have never actually spent 5 minutes googling what they want, because it'd pop up if they did.
Also, plenty of things the terminal is the most intuitive for.
Mostly programming tools.
And just look at the hell that is wget GUI.
Terminal is good for text things, GUI good for non text things.
Plus, I've been using linux for years, there hasn't been a single time when I've been forced to use a terminal, except when I do something really stupid and break something, but that always has happened to me from a terminal, so if you truly avoid terminals, you're good.
>>54427990
Tab auto complete.
Alsoman -k password
Can pipe to grep for more fun.
Just because you're clueless at a terminal and have most of your experience with a GUI, doesn't mean we do.
>>54429560
I could be wrong on this, but I thought everything in info is also in man.
It's not like either is hard to use.
Better than the windows documentation browser.
>>54427990
Oh, and forgot to mention, man -k also serves a good way of finding out the program you want to use also.
Easier than trying to track down a mess of GUI programs.
That feel when you know you need some GUI program you installed a year ago, completely forget it's name/icon, and have to hunt through menus, launching old programs until you find the one that does what you want.
This is easier IMO, unless you/re just scared of the terminal.

I think you're missing the point. The concept of first and third parties doesn't exist with Linux because it's not controlled by a single organisation.

It's basic on Windows. Only takes a right click. That's the point. Loonix longhairs have to drop down to the console to accomplish simple tasks

Even nautilus supports that. And you can just do it with 7z via cli.
But yes, the kernel can't do it by itself.
Not lag when dragging a window.

if your kernel lags when interacting in userspace you did something horribly wrong.
I'd јust like tο interјect fοr a mοment. What yοu're referring tο as Linux, is in fact, GΝU/Linux, οr as Ι've recently taken tο calling it, GΝU plus Linux. Linux is nοt an οperating system untο itself, but rather anοther free cοmpοnent οf a fully functiοning GΝU system made useful by the GΝU cοrelibs, shell utilities and vital system cοmpοnents cοmprising a full OS as defined by ΡOSΙX.
Many cοmputer users run a mοdified versiοn οf the GΝU system every day, withοut realizing it. Τhrοugh a peculiar turn οf events, the versiοn οf GΝU which is widely used tοday is οften called "Linux", and many οf its users are nοt aware that it is basically the GΝU system, develοped by the GΝU Ρrοјect.
Τhere really is a Linux, and these peοple are using it, but it is јust a part οf the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the prοgram in the system that allοcates the machine's resοurces tο the οther prοgrams that yοu run. Τhe kernel is an essential part οf an οperating system, but useless by itself; it can οnly functiοn in the cοntext οf a cοmplete οperating system. Linux is nοrmally used in cοmbinatiοn with the GΝU οperating system: the whοle system is basically GΝU with Linux added, οr GΝU/Linux. All the sο-called "Linux" distributiοns are really distributiοns οf GΝU/Linux.

The kernel can, if you make a kernel module for it.

>>54444447
I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just.Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Most computer users who run the entire Linux system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.
There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just.Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.
>>54426892
Linux is shit, but that's a feature.
>>54426951
Because command line is better because devs dont like write write five GUIs for every graphical toolkit (gtk, qt, gtk 3.0 qt5, etc)

This is what wangblowers actually believe.

This is exactly where the command line excels. Doing this on more than 10 files in Windows is a chore

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
