@aeris the firmware issue too

PurpCat, 2 months ago

@aeris my other favorite debian issue I remember is making a root account by default which breaks shit using "sudo" a lot, like Steam when it's sudo apt installing shit (it did back in the day).

@waifu @aeris debian didn't even bundle wifi blobs for eons.

Every other distro does.

@aeris what makes you say that, i have had a pretty good experience with it

waifu, 2 months ago

@kirby @aeris I always recommend mint rather than debian for newbies, the experience is good in most stuff and cinnamon is quite similar to windows

@kirby @waifu Gui is superior(in most cases)

@kirby @waifu I hope cli nerds don't kill me for saying that

@aeris @kirby @waifu mixed. cli can often be better when you know exactly what you want already. GUI is better for discoverability and learning things. (this is not up for debate shut up nerds)

@RustyCrab @aeris @kirby @waifu this is why emacs is best because it is a gui and cli at the same time 🦬

@binkle @RustyCrab @aeris @kirby they told me emacs is a rabbithole is it true mr binkle

@waifu @aeris @kirby @binkle no it's a 🦬 hole

@waifu @aeris @RustyCrab @binkle acme gang says its probably too big of a rabbit hole :gyate_reisen_love:

@binkle @RustyCrab @kirby @waifu Takes the worst of both

RustyCrab, 2 months ago

@aeris @binkle @kirby @waifu what if there was a gui program but you couldn't click anything you could only type terminal commands to click and move things (superior computer time)

@RustyCrab @binkle @aeris @kirby @waifu Isn't that just keyboard navigation? tab tab tab tab tab tab tab tab tab tab enter

RustyCrab, 2 months ago

@Coyote @binkle @aeris @kirby @waifu maybe but you'd have to spell out the keys and push enter every time and call everybody a pussy for not using it

@RustyCrab @binkle @aeris @kirby @waifu It's called vim.
