Whenver the desred action is not evident in the GUI, I use teminal and have Chat translate it into Linuxese. Terminal is GPT's goto, 4sure. It is apparent that terminal is much more elegant, if you speak the language. Fumbling around in a GUI must feel so clumsey to a master.

I don't speak the language. Everything is hidden, unless you know the words that invoke the desired effect. Eg. sudo apt update or the like. Also, plenty of room for error, even if you do have some idea what you're doing. With a GUI, the user can at least fumble around through menus to find the desired action.

Hi, I just switched my home PC to Zorin. I picked it thinking that it would be the simplest version of Linux for my family members to start using, given its similarity to Windows. So far no issues with them using it but it is noticably slower to load programs.

I use will continue using Mint on my personal devices despite my dislike for using the terminal, having grown up doing everything through the Windows GUI.

Here's a free online course about best practices for getting quality rest. Geared toward aviation but has practical content. https://www.faasafety.gov/gslac/ALC/CourseLanding.aspx?cID=174

Ah, yes. I confused privacy with anonymity. Related and equally important to liberty. Big data is free to mine my posts. Thanks for the reply.

Hyperbole? Not really. You described my lemmy experience perfectly. However, not having big data sift through my digital feces to find the peanut, makes it worth the effort.
