I’ve started to feel dirty clicking on icons like some sort of peasant.

It’s like, when you install arch, you just feel like not bothering with installing the gui stuff, because you’re so above pointing and clicking on things. If only they’d make a command line version of Metro Exodus. Metro Exodus on the command line would be so much more powerful. It’s so lame with graphics. Don’t get me started on editing my photos of the kids and fam. Just load that pic up on the command line as raw data. I’ll just eliminate the red eye reading the machine code and editing it. GUIs are for weaklings. Just install arch without X or gnome or any of that stuff. Don’t even get me started on the KDE wussies. Oh yeah, you want things to look all pretty on your screen to click on. Computers aren’t pretty. They take commands. All you need are fingers and a keyboard. You can play tetris on the terminal, you know. No need for graphics. The linux devs just added graphics and a GUI for wussy users. Even invented that penguin thing to make it pretty and dumbed down.

But it’s actually better!

I know it’s easy to think that it’s about showing off, but honestly, the Linux graphical tools are much worse than the command line most of the time.

Installing software is much faster and more reliable using the command line than any graphical tool I’ve used.

I know it’s faster and even easier for many things, but it’s with great shame that I would rather mess with network interfaces via GUI than on command line. nmtui is a poor substitute.
