Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    That's defintiely the wrong title.

    No, it's not the user catching Linux in trying to pretend user friendliness witht the terminal.

    It's Linux catching the user in still hating it when he gets the wanted user friendliness, for the sole reason of being conditioned to hate the terminal.

    If you are able to use those buttons in the terminal, it wouldn't be a terminal.

    What? The person you're replying to doesn't have the best argument in the world so I'm not exactly siding with them, but also a lot of terminals very much do support mouse input. I'm not sure which all ones it is, but I know the gnome terminal does and I'm pretty sure Konsole does as well. Obviously not every program you run in the terminal is going to support it but off the top of my head I remember vim does as well as I'm pretty sure dialog

    How do people use Windows without CLI?

    It’s way harder to GUI-only than Linux

    deluding yourself that having to edit registry values and write scripts all the time is definitely interfacing 100% graphically
