Hey how do I do this thing in Linux that I could ordinarily do in Windows?

No one who doesn't understand the basics of computer hardware, software, and what an OS is should be using Linux.

I don't think anyone except weeb teen ricers would say otherwise, although there have been great strides in the last few years for desktop linux distros that actually do make them more or less usable right off the bat.

The only troubles come from people trying to do things that boomers wouldn't be trying to do anyway.

FUCKING DROPPED

You're not even trying

Autism basically.

Sure thing kid. Everyone knows 95% of terminal users have to copy and paste commands from Goggle.

terminal is the choice of brainlets

its easier to remember maybe 5 different settings windows (control panel, my computer-manage/device manager, network center etc) and navigate from there, its much easier to remember that way. On linux there may be maybe 100(obviously there a more) commands for most basic things and one has to remember them, remember precisely what to type not just single words but sometimes unrelated terms/letters/words. I simply fail to see how structured gui is not better than a million unrelated commands that its simply impossible to remember.

am brainlet, can confirm
I love being able to paste single commands that fix my issue

>how do I decide if updates happen?
Wangblows: You don't get a choice, goyim.
Linux: Just leave it alone if you don't want it to do something.

the more I use linux (I use manjaro i3 community release) the more I hate using windows and the more I think about switching my other machines to it.

I've had my mother and grandfather on Linux for years now. Used to need to help them with shit on a monthly basis if I was lucky. Now it's twice a year at worst. The worst they do is neglect updating, but they're fine anyway.

you find it easier to remember because you've taken the time to understand what those setting mean and do, you're also downplaying just how many important settings are hidden behind sub-menus of sub-menus or are in unintuitive places if they're not locked behind some registry key

>what is group policy editor

just because its strange and difficult to you, doesn't mean its strange and difficult for someone else

Based. I have that feeling too.

my desktop is dual boot simply because of a few gaymes

because once you get past your fear of the big scary blinking cursor it's infinitely quicker and easier to explain than telling someone how to do fifteen steps in a gui to get to a particular setting

>coping this hard for Windows' inability to do basic text editing

well, technically, you still need to install gcc or clang on your linux box

thats right, but remembering location of menus and sub menus (especially when they are structured) is naturally easier than remembering lines of words and numbers and terms - commands that you have to type out

Linux. Not even once.

True. My counterpoint: instead of bundling bullshit like Cortana and Minecraft, why doesn't MS bundle actually sane and useful things like a basic fucking C compiler?

I doubt you can type this out in 3 seconds, good luck if you miss a character

Are the Ctrl, C and V keys missing on your keyboard?

Good luck finding an equivalent command in Windows that does that. I would also like to take the time to remind everyone that sed is a forty-five (45!) year old program.

but you are not supposed to, true linux pros type everything out themselves, copy-paste is for brainlets

Using the terminal is therapeutic

tbqh windows 10 is shit because they messed up all the settings structure, its all over the place compared to 7 or even 8.

That doesn't work retard. Do you even know how sed works?

>can't do it on windows
>on linux you are at least able to bash it

Fuck. I missed that you used transform instead of substitute. I'm retarded.

Kernel Modesetting and high resolution terminals is godlike, Ubuntufags wouldn't understand.

Now let's hear what this "thing" is that you can ordinarily do in Windows.

year of the linux desktop soon

fuck linux is such a great brainlet filter, its comfy

Because the system is designed to work like that.

linux is much more simple and friendly when you get over the GUI meme

Anything at all goes wrong on Arch, here's how to fix it:
>copy-paste some commands from the Arch wiki

makes me feel like a hacker

Just open it in Sublime Text and save as UTF-8.

game
work
use industry software

>he can't write a simple command

OP is retarded

Of course Windows has more ways to do things in the gui since it's designed to be used with a gui but when people talk about how to achieve things with the cli in Linux it doesn't have to mean it can't be accomplished with the gui.

You need to keep in mind Linux was designed to be operated with the cli, this means that everything you can achieve in the gui can be accomplished in the cli as well. There are a lot of things I do in the cli since it's easy for me to do and in result I don't know how to achieve a lot of things in the gui. So if you ask me how to do something I would probably respond with how to do it in the cli, but it doesn't mean that it can't be done in the gui, I just don't know how.

The same thing goes for Windows. If you were to ask a lot of 'power users' how to do something they'll respond with how to do it in the gui even if it can be done in powershell. That's because in Windows everyone already knew the gui before powershell came along. It just means that people don't know how to use powershell.

Now both sides have upsides and downsides. Windows is easier to pick up because of the gui but the efficiency of achieving things stagnates fast since you can't script in the gui so you'd have to learn powershell to utilize your system better. Linux on the other hand takes more time to pick up because you'd need to learn the basics of the cli first but the efficiency of usage increases faster since the cli allows you to do more work quicker since it's a more powerful tool then a gui.

However a lot of DEs actually improved the gui controls a lot so you can do a lot more things without the cli now or so I've heard. I haven't checked it out myself since I use the cli a lot but you might find more ways to do what you want through the gui instead of the cli.

bait.hpp

except for when some fucking reason the commands won't work and the terminal hands you some cryptic error message. i was trying to install the paper icon theme on mint the other day and used the commands meant for ubuntu. simple enough, right? didn't work. i look around and find an article about it for mint; the fix was deleting a specific letter and leaving the rest as is.

You know, just because you are retarded and can't be bothered to RTFM doesn't mean that everyone else is.

I work enterprise support for Microsoft Exchange Online. Every week I run into a sys admin who doesn't know how to use Powershell. The amount of admins who can't use command line is embarrassing.

Work in unix/linux and play in Windows.
Simple as that really.

Oh just to add, the play part of it though.

Okay so the same as Linux then, only slower

Why do you have to whine about it in public? Nobody cares use Windows then.

Reminder that Windows is taught in public schools from an early age and Linux is not. Until that changes (it won't), Linux will ALWAYS be a meme OS.

how do i set my rtc to utc?

linux;
timedatectl set-local-rtc 0

windows;
open regedit
nativate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation
set RealTimeIsUniversal to 1
reboot

Don't boomers remember DOS?

What about the millennials and zoomers?

My dad prefers dos over current windows.

This is honestly true desu, too many times where I've looked some shit up and ive had to regedit something or go through 900 boxes before I can reach something

I'm a millennial and I remember using DOS on my familys computer, it's what I immediately thought of when I first had to use a CLI, but I'm also autistic
Zoomers are beyond hope

the best part of linux is knowing every issue you ever will have has 3 fix times.

1. The console command that'll take 30 seconds

2. The Reinstall which takes a few hours depending on your porn cache

3. The fucking fuck find the fucking fucked piece of fucking code in your fucking box that fucked up for thirty fucking hours to learn the proper way to even fucking google the problem

but in the end python3 finally plays ball with kivy. fucking python.

so yeah, GUI's help newbies but CLIs save Lives. Once you know what you want done and you understand BASH, you can automate things yourself super easy, and automated security is the best security.

hell i had to tab between a webpage and copy some code out by hand earlier. GUI that takes forever and becomes repetitive shit. CLI makes you feel like ultimate hackerman mastering using computer for great justice

Overkill for a small task like disabling updates. It should be a simple toggle, but they decided that it should be forced on everyone. They even want to dictate when it happens.

Like an user said above, you have windows in your school. If the same happened with linux, I bet zoomers and milleanials would use it too.
It's scary at first, but you get used to it.
Honestly, if I had someone to explain me what "sudo apt-get update" is, things would be different.

You have two audio devices, you want the video player to output audio by both at the same time.

I think it's kinda reasonable since most of the security issues on windows happen due to users not updating for long periods (ex: wannacry)

Same and I'm not your dad

My understanding of linux goes like this
>$Sudo su bash shutdown-windows /q.tz

>install Steam
>they are all there
What now, retard?

Linux literally can’t even adjust mouse speed properly. Not a single district has smooth mouse features.

use windows then, no one gives a shit.

>Ventrilo
do people still use this thing?

What you call responsible, I call controlling. They decided that no matter who the user is, they should not have the power to fuck up on their own choices. This isn't like driving a car, where allowing people access to advanced settings could result in lost life.

true pros aint taking advice from you.
type what you can, copy/paste everything else. good enough for noobs. good enough for pros.

There's zero point in learning to use PowerShell. You can just go to Google and type
>how to do X with PowerShell
And copy some guy's script

Nah, now they use Shitcord and pretend like they have their own servers.

IDK, user. You shouldn't be adjusting mouse speed in software settings, and mouse acceleration feels like shit... I turned it off when I was on Wangblows, and turned it off again when I switched to GNU/Linux. No difference, in that case. If the mouse moves too slow/fast, you need a higher/lower DPI mouse, or DPI hardware setting, if it's adjustable.

once you git gud at linux, there's nothing that needs a reinstall to fix, outside of outright erasing most or all of root (that is, there's nothing left to fix)
feels fucking good not having to reinstall my OS each year
and even if you want to, it takes a fuckload less time to reinstall all your programs and restore your configurations, none of this next, next, next on 50 different setup programs

Another classic line right there
>how to do this in linux
>why would you want to do that?

cmon man, like 15% of my steam library is playable with proton. And the 15% that do, were released before 2008.

>only 5 settings windows
that might have been true at one point but windows 10 is a fucking trash fire and there are 5 different settings ""windows"" (can barely even call them that with the metro shit) per thing you want to adjust, each with different settings and terminology
