CLI > GUI on PC.

[–] mustyOrange@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Gui with keyboard shortcuts is the right mix of efficient and approachable imo

[–] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I prefer a healthy mix of CLI and GUI, like an omnivore. You are digital vegan.

I mean, i have things like window manager and browser graphical, but most other things are just way faster and easier to use as cli.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Maybe for people like us, CLI is easier. I grew up with a DOS pc, and started playing with Linux as soon as we had an Internet connection that I was allowed to use to download stuff.

For my parents, who actually are boomers, give them a CLI and they think something is broken.

I grew up with Windows (the first version I used was 7, close to the launch of 10) and even I think CLI is easier (I now use NixOS)

I'm 18 years old. I legitimately thought command line is something for hackers more than 80% of my life. Yet, rest 20% of life was enough to make me love it. And it's kinda funny how it went CLI is main thing for computers -> trying to make everything GUI -> now CLI is popular again

[–] SemioticStandard@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

If you’re a systems/network engineer or a dev, the CLI is your home.

I enjoy a good cli or tui any day, but still sometimes fallback to a GUI for some stuff.

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I definitely still use GUI, just when mostly in Windows.

[–] Hagarashi8@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

It sounds like it should be other way, but same.

[–] dwindling7373@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, if you live and breath the same tools 24/7.

I like the concept but feel like an idiot everytime I have to google "How do I [insert simple task here]" because I can't remember the syntax, where a GUI would handheld me in a much better way through finding back what I used to be familiar with.

[–] Hagarashi8@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I do -h or --help in those cases. Usually, this is enough.
