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 rarely use powershell or cmd in Windows because they’re just terrible. I’m never sure how I’m supposed to do things with powershell. Documentation online rarely help me. I end up always installing WLS to have a decent experience (before WSL it was Cygwin, CMDer, Msys, etc.)
In Linux it’s so good I’m almost always having a few terminal windows open. I’m mostly using it for text processing. For example, check how often a specific keyword is used among 1GB of files. I can easily string a chain of commands together, and get a result within seconds.
