--description of arch linux 2019

And if you can't do that, you should LITERALLY just not use a computer @Phatique

mmm how closely kmail resembles live mail GUI wise

hell i dont even remember how the kmail looks

yeah dont you just love to have to type in some terminal commands you need to google because it dosent work when you install the program

pressing on .exe files and following a wizard is easier for 99% of people, however linux users dont get it

thankfully most of mainstream distros have aged beyond those times

sure its still somehow easier and simple to install sofware from commandline than from GUI

but giving GUI to person who still uses XP and livemail is more favorable option than power of commandline

99% of people disagree, only your /gents/ prefer cmd/terminal

i mean if i know what im searcing terminal + command is simply faster than opening bloat what is called debians installer thing :D

faster dosent mean easier

sure stuff like native KDE discover on plasma desktop and even appcenter are way nicer these days

than what ever drugs debian devs had when they spinned that horrible package manager up

ask normal pc user how to install a program, they will not think opening up a terminal and typing in commands

they will not even know the basic commands

if my computer illiterate mom can do it after receiving single text message

anyone can

:D

but indeed i knew what system it was and copy pasting text from phone screen to command line is way easier

but sure i would not let my mum search apps on her own

i mean she has "files, help, phone,internet, mail,radio" shortcuts on desktop

and so far i get calls only if something major has porkked after automated update script

so rarely than once a year

most of the time computer is not even on when the update check is supposed to go off so...

but i agree that for more computer illiterate generations its indeed easier for them to use GUI

tervy has a mom?

ok you can bring on your anecdotes that your mom can handle linux "then everyone should be able to".

However if you claim linux is more user friendly than windows/OSX you're just delusional.

but considering generic OS-base programs what stuff like ubuntu,mintmanjaro,elementary,fedora have id say they rarely even need to install extra

@Phatique i did not claim it in any point tho ?

i claimed they have come long way what they used to be on userfriendliness

to the point standard people(old and young) sometimes(it happens) even prefer them when given chance to test them

where it used to be "too confusing/ugly/afraid of change"

hardest part is the setup for all new enviroment for people

they dont know the linux world programs that well (Specialy if they want separate mail client/use only what came with the OS)

but if they are people who have used VLC,Firefox/chrome/vivaldi/whatever,skype,spotify,itunes,dropbox etc for their whole life

that all is still familiar to them

it just needs to be installed and setup

(itunes ofc being the hardest enemy from that list)

but usualy its just some niche stuff they are used to use on windows on the people who turn back (or certain work programs like office tool required to be X )

but that just my own notes along years i have given people systems to test and what people most complain
