People just don’t want to confess that they are feared from that little black box that apparently kills your whole machine, if you just type a wrong letter having a terminal open. 🤗
As always,
not enough education in society.
If more people would be brave to test it, more people would see that they can interact like this, better. And some, like me, appreciate the hard work GUI designers do, to make stuff more intuitive in the cost of efficiency
I love GUI with integrated terminal, tho, like dolphin
I honestly think of that single board computers should be more common part of education. That’s what the Raspberry Pi was originally envisioned as, a very cheap thing you could equip a whole classroom with to teach them coding, inspired by the BBC micro or whatever it was called that they had back in the '80s. A good way to get people over that fear is to give them something small they basically can’t break and even if they do mess it up they can easily restored and they probably didn’t lose much of value anyways.
For me it really depends. I usually prefer the terminal for very simple tasks, or for tasks that are quite complex (complex in the way, that I dont really know what to do and have to look it up), because then its, at least in my opinion, much easier than having to use a GUI. This also includes such simple tasks as creating directories in my filesystem. I prefer the command line than having to open the file Programm, search for the right folder and then again having to search for the “create folder” button in the menu that pops up when doing right click.
However, I do almost everything regarding file systems (formatting drives etc) with gparted, because its just much more convenient than using a CLI tool.
