im like 99% sure that they wouldnt bother.

Aber was found dead in Alexandria, Virginia, on March 22, 2025, at age 43.[11] A family friend said that her death was "believed to be the result of a longstanding medical issue",[12][13] which was later revealed to be epilepsy.[14] Authorities did not initially release an official cause of death.[2][15][16] Four days later, the Alexandria Police Department said in a statement that Aber likely died of natural causes, but that they would wait for the final ruling of the chief medical examiner.

i mean, that's pretty concrete.

Assuming this wiki info checks out. I would be inclined to believe it. Unfortunate timing i suppose, but it could happen at any time.

linux enables powerusers, which also enables a foundation for everyday users, which enables a foundation for learning and education of those users.

A good modern gui also presents itself in front of you. It directs your attention to important buttons/options. You don’t need any prior knowledge to know that a cog shaped button labeled settings will take you to settings. Good UIs are self explanatory. CLI are not.

it also suffers from exponential growth complexity. CLI only has linear growth complexity. Every button and element you add to a gui makes refactoring the entire GUI layout exponentially harder.

They want everything to be accessible and to be easy.

CLI is both accessible and easy, intuitive even. The only problem is that it requires a fundamental knowledge basis, and some syntactic context. But that's all pretty minimal.

I would argue a GUI is more confusing if it has any nested elements in it (like photoshop for example)

if you're using systemd, 90% of your system maintenance and boot handling is going to be running through systemd, so it's likely to be pretty syntactically similar.

other than that they’re utterly lost on Linux without the help of others. This will definitely make people use Linux instead of going back to the exploitative OS they know where they at least feel comfortable enough to know it won’t fail on them.

yknow, unless they do actual debug. Everytime i've seen someone go over an issue they have with linux, via someone else, it follow the process of debug, troubleshoot, solve. Where you must necessarily learn something. Maybe not as much as when you figure it out yourself, but group troubleshooting is often more efficient.

Not to mention all of the resources and information out there to actually figure out what's happening is so much more accessible.

I think the CLI criticisms are way overblown, and non-programmers can use CLIs perfectly well if they want to.

it's not even criticism, it's just people being lazy and not wanting to learn things, which is fine, be lazy all you want. But at least be honest with yourself about it.

literally just learn CLI, you're actively wasting time by not learning it. It's so hard to describe how utterly beneficial the CLI is to someone who hasn't used it.

yknow, i'm thinking that's not the case. Maybe a schizo right winger. But probably not a false flag. You wouldn't need to false flag this.

fair enough i suppose.

You got that pathetic so much quicker, congrats!

yeah idk, i think legally that might be classified as a "sick burn"

You are talking about fucking children. You look like a pedophile.

listen bro, i'm not the one talking about fucking children right now, ok. That's all im gonna say, smells like projection on your part.

listen man, if you're going to hire me for an IT position, you better assume i will do nothing other than linux, unless you want to pay me a lot more fucking money, or want me to be very mad, all of the time.
