The original comic is actually genius, and very true.

You clearly see it when the Linux users start prostletysing.

I want to like Linux and leave Windows, but when I say that I don't want to be forced to use CLI/terminal because I don't live in the 1970s, people get angry at me.

The CLI does some things so fast though. I myself like bypassing the gui and interacting more directly. Same reason I only drive manual cars and grind my own coffee (autistic?) But yes, I am glad linux has a gui and we shouldn't force the cli on people who grew up with ipads.

any tips for learning manual?

[–] applemao@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Find a friend with one, otherwise the key is to be smooth and really feel the clutch engagement. It's different for every vehicle. Its a balance between clutch and gas. With a lower power car you'll need more gas to balance while letting the clutch out. With an old manual truck, you pretty much need no gas input to get going because of torque. Another good way to learn could be just pick up an old g27 or g29 wheel (they have 3 pedals and a shifter either h pattern or paddles) and learn that way with a racing simple like LFS, Asetto Corsa, or Automobilista 2.

Depending where you live there's all sorts of sub $800 manual cars. That's how I learned (rusty $500 crx)
