    Yeah, and it sucks in like 30 other ways, but unfortunately people aren’t smart and will be going to 11 like the drones they are. I’m dual booting Linux and 10 and spend 100% of my time on 10 because having to configure and go into console 24/7 isn’t as fun as Lemmy makes it out to be.

      I’ve been on Linux Mint for the past several months and I think I’ve needed the terminal twice?

      Once I couldn’t find a GUI option to adjust the brightness/gamma, but searching found me the terminal command so I just used that.

      More recently I needed newer Nvidia drivers than were available by default, so I had to add a new PPA thing. We’ll find out later today if I’m going to regret that.

      Most settings average “Facebook machine” users need are available on common distros without touching a console.

      Unless you want to emulate common windows software. Then only God can save you.

      I use Arch, btw
