The diversity of Linux distributions is one of its strengths, but it can also be challenging for app and game development. Where do we need more standards? For example, package management, graphics APIs, or other aspects of the ecosystem? Would such increased standards encourage broader adoption of the Linux ecosystem by developers?

    lose sight of their humanity

    Ok this is now a stupid conversation. Really? Humanity?

    Look, you can either follow a flowchart of a dozen different things to click on to get information about your thunderbolt device or type boltctl -list

    Do you want me to create screen shots of every step of the way to use a gui or just type 12 characters? That is why it is useful. It is easy to explain, easy to ask someone to do it. Then they can copy and paste a response, instead of yet another screenshot.

    Next thing you know you will be telling me it is against humanity to “right click”. Or maybe we all should just get a Mac Book Wheel

    Look, I am only advocating that it is a very useful tool. There is nothing “bad” about it, or even hard. What is the negative?

    But I also said, I have been using a Fedora laptop for over a year and guess what? I never needed the command line. Not once.

      Yeah, humanity. The fact you think it’s ‘stupid’ really just proves my point that you’re too far gone.

      or type boltctl -list

      Really? You have every command memorized? You never need to look any of them up? No copy-pasting!

      Come on, at least try to make a decent argument to avoid looking like a troll.

      I’m glad rational people have won out and your rhetoric is falling further and further by the wayside. The command line is great for development and developers. It’s awful for regular users which is why regular users never touch it.

      You lost sight of your humanity, which is why you don’t even think about how asinine it is to say “just type this command!” as though people are supposed to know it intuitively.

      Gonna block ya now. Arguing with people like you is tiresome and a waste of time.

      Have fun writing commands. Make sure you don’t use a GUI to look them up, or else you’d be proving me right.

        You blocked me over a difference of opinion?

        Wow.

        All I am trying to say it that it is a tool in the toolbox. Telling people Linux needs it is not true, telling people it’s bad is not true.

        Quit trying to make it a negative. I would encourage anyone to explore how to use this tool. And when trying to communicate ideas on the internet it is a very useful one.

        I have never blocked anyone, I find that so strange. It’s like saying because of our difference on this issue, we could never have common ground on any other.

        And you ask me to remember my humanity?
