I know we all enjoy being nerds and using commands (H4ckerman). But now that everything is either a gui or web based, is there really any use to terminal commands?

For example, on windows I never used powershell or cmd hardly ever. I realize now I probably could have. But Linux just drives me to use it more, which i like anyway (because let’s be honest, it makes us feel superior)

    I have to concatenate off reports for part of work duties. The GUI tools in Adobe or other PDF editors are slow.

    The solution was add Linux WSL2 in Windows. And use qpdf

    I can now just open the Linux terminal, type qpdf --pages File1.pdf 1-z File2.off 1-z (etc) – Outputfile.pdf

    It is instantly concatenated.

    And next report time its just grabbing command from history and editing file name or page numbers needed
