I don't give a shit about bloat. Unless it's something I'll be doing frequently, and thus script it, or need to process output to get something specific. I prefer GUI over CLI.
The only exception is networking equipment. I'm a CLI extremist because it's super easy and a web server seriously increases attack surface.

but for actual servers I like webservers because lmao fuck doing that shit on the command line.

>>100194422
uniroinically they need to fork bash and simplify and unify the syntax including the utilities like awk and stuff. If you don't work with it all day everyday it's such a fucking joke.

As opposed to using "the GUI"? What sort of a midwit-tier question is that? Even ChatGPT would come up with something better.

I like the commmmand line. My favourite terminal is Kitty, and I've only tried bash and powershell, so bash is my favourite shell.

I cope and seethe at the command line and argue it should never be the default, but in reality I cannot deny how good it feels to just have my comfy terminal and open vim and do my thing real quick. Even on windows (which I am using right now), most of my file management is done through either cygwin or powershell.

I never tried tmux though, am I missing out?

nope and i think it's gay

>I never tried tmux though, am I missing out?
imo no, at least for personal use I never needed it often enough to learn the keybinds. Although occasionally I'll open other tabs like if I want to make sure a specific command works as I think it should or I ran something that's going to take a minute and I forgot to run it in the background.

At least for Konsole (the KDE terminal emulator) switching tabs uses the same keybinds as a browser which I already know. Although I'd imagine a lot of other terminals probably use the same since they're pretty standard.

you fags think typing shit makes you smart, you're not smart, good desktop environments have eliminated the need for "command line" for 99.99 percent of people.
If you're in the .01 percent, congrats, you're not smart you just do gay shit on your computer

Tmux is well worth having if you ever do anything remote, like SSHing into a calc server and running either ML or some other one off simulation work.

It's also used by sysadmins in "pets" type server setups because you can open 12 different panes (forget the correct terms) at once and input the same commands into a bunch of different SSH sessions at once.
