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.

ffmpeg is one of the things where I prefer the CLI. It's crazy powerful, and does some insane things in pretty simple commands. I've seen a meme that says half the internet is just wrappers for ffmpeg, and I'm inclined to agree.

Also, as an arch user (btw) pacman / AUR are a much better experience than having to hunt down the installers for everything online.

Similarly, the right CLI tools make searching for files across my entire computer much simpler and way faster than I could ever do with a GUI
