What really annoyed me is, that for some goddamn reason fedora renamed or removed the dnf command to add repository’s and now each time I want to add a repository I have to write the config file by hand.

If you are moving/deleting multiple (but not all) files in a directory I 100% agree. But as soon as you just handle single files or directory’s I’m usually faster with the terminal. This is especially true when you have to edit config file. No way I Am searching my way through /etc/ in a GUI

The reason I Am always using the terminal is, since I on one hand prefer it than having to click through changing GUIs and for some things I dont even know how to do them with a GUI. First thing to come to mind is flashing an ISO file to a USB. While I know that balena Etcher exists, it never worked a single fucking time on various Distros. No matter if I used the AppImage or flatpack. So at some point I just started remembering the command for dd to do the exact same thing that works every single time.

Fuck you for triggering that hell of a trauma Latin cause me.

to get a delicious char

Didnt knew sou could eat a char

Idk, i really disliked the UI and especially the application launcher.

Another good reason for having GUIs is, that you can learn the CLI while not being dependant on it.

Havent done that (except for games ofc)

The wiki can be rough at some times, but you are guaranteed to learn a shit ton about Linux Ehen reading it. It gives you the commands you have to copy/paste most of the time, so its not to bad.

Can’t speak for you, but trouble shooting, even if you dont know what you do, is at least in my experience way easier. A terminal command does the exact same thing, no matter on which system (OK, there are differences like package manager, but you get what mean) and no matter when. On Windows you get 10 screenshots of a UI that has changed 10 times since the creation of the guide and no or a completely useless error message if something does not work. As long as you are not trying to debug big ass problems that affect core components of your system (bootloader, drives, stuff with the kernel) it is in fact quite hard to fuck up your entire system (it can happen with Updates on Arch, but this is usually quite rare). As long as you are not touching anything else except your /home directory you should not be able to break your entire system. Also if you are still scared of losing date, there are ways of creating system snapshots (backups). Backing up your home directory is enough because this means, that all the files you use daily are backed up.

Since you mentioned dependencies, here’s a quick answer to what this means. There are a shit ton of programming libraries. A library has the use case, that a developer does not have to reinvent the wheel every time they want to do something. You dont want to write a complete library for GUIs every time, but instead use standardised well maintained and documented libraries. Since Programms use these they depend on the user having this library (or alternatively Programms) installed. This is called a dependency. In most cases dependency errors mean, that an expected library is not installed. In this case simply copy the name, and search “install name Linux (or your Distros)” and you are almost guaranteed to find a tutorial for installing it.

My best tip is, that you take the time to learn the basics of Linux. What is a package manager and which one does my system use, how do I navigate directories, how do I create and delete files, how do I edit files. How do I copy or move files. If you know the basics of these things you know most of the stuff you need to know to understand what you are doing. If you want to read more about a specific command you can also always refer to the man page of said command. For this simply type in man “command name” (e.G. “man cd” this gives you the basic infos about the CD command (used for navigating directorys))

I’m too lazy to troubleshoot in Wine.

I’ve been daily driving Linux for about 3 years now and one major tip I can give is to avoid using non Linux apps as far as possible. When I started with Linux I also tried to get windows apps running on Linux, but this, at least as far as I remember, never worked the way I wanted ans always caused more troubles. Currently I’m at a point where I dont even know when I used plain wine (I am not counting proton) the last time. It has been 2 years at least. I Am using native Linux apps for everything I do. Much less trouble shooting, no need to learn wine additionally to the command line and much less prone to breaking because of an update.

I can really suggest Mint for beginners simply because it has an UI for about everything you need somewhat regularly. This means, that you can use GUIs to get familiar and aren’t forced to know your way around the terminal. Its the Ideal beginner Distros (at least from my experience)

High school should go up to the bachelor level

The reason college/university exist is to allow people to chose what to learn specifically. There is no way to extend highschool to a bachelor level, since there are so god damn many different bachelors. It is not realistic to extend highschool so much, that you can teach people a bachelor degree in, as example, physics or engineering.

Assuming that flying with an electric motor is a viable option (I have zero clue, but from what I heard currently its not that realistic that we will get electric planes)

I usually recommend Pop_OS! (Though I havent tried that one myself) or the good old classic Linux Mint.

The amount of times I’ve been asked to make someone a website or app…

Oh, so you can Programm? Surely you know how to make this cool idea using AI I just had!

Most people dont even know, that there are like 50 different fields that are somewhere in the space of IT/Programming and of these fields only a quite small amount of do develop apps or websites.

if you use any modern distro installing most software is braindead easy. if you have to compile something yourself (which isnt that often) it can get quite funny because one hell of a lot can go wrong.

This isnt true. You only have this problem with rather obscure software (which was what I tried to install)

Yeah sure, I gonna setup everything again just because a single piece of software is not available on my pc

What? Its something I do quite regularly.
