You use terminal because you know what you are doing.
I use terminal because I want to feel like a hacker in a 90's movie.
We are not the same.

You use the terminal because you like the UX experience.
I use the terminal because the best IDE I can install on my work server is vim7.4.*
We are not the same.
*VHDL and SV. I can't install python for TerosHDL
Nice and rare to see a fellow SV user. Did you come across to any relevant communities for digital design and verification, asic or fpga?
No, and I would love to find a resource to help me bend UVM to my will. Alas, I'm in a niche of a niche on a currently niche platform. I'm not hopeful for years. The subreddit for FPGA is all I got right now.
I would love some uvm content as well.
@sincle354 I'm interested in this too, the closest community I know of is ece@lemmy.world which is for electrical & computer engineering in general but can be a good starting point for the digital design community.
I use the terminal only to install something I need
People know what dropdown menus are called :O
Yeah, my mom would say "Where's all the stuff" to refer to buttons, drop-down menus, etc.
Yeah, found the lack of knowledge of what their name is shocking as well.
"Yknow the uh, the.. um. The selection thingy."
I think you mean combobox
Me when I run sudo pacman -Syu
WHOA! SLOW DOWN with throwing out the mystical text! You wanna summon a demon right here?
We live dangerously around here >:)

Terminal is even more impressive if used in full screen
If you want impressive, you have 4-6 seperate terminal windows that take up the whole screen collectively. The laymen assume you're hacking the NSA or something if they see that.
Yes, I use PowerShell with garish colors. Yes, I have to Google every step. No,I don't understand the Microsoft docs.
To be fair, I used to work there, and not even Microsoft understands their docs.
Legitimately relieved it's not just a me problem
I thought it's the learns now?
You use the terminal
I use the Command Prompt
We are not the same
You can do both with Windows Terminal!
Nice try, Bill.
That's so true as a Linux user in front of non-techies.
It ain't hacking unless I've got a ski mask on.

omg is that hacking????!?!?!?!11
I've lost count of the amount of times my terminal has been referenced as being the matrix. Hasn't happened much since WFH though.
just find a reason to connect to their workstation and bring up a terminal :P
Me doing xbps-install -Suv.
