Topic	I always get thrown off installing stuff on Linux
Dikitain 05/31/18 9:17:40 AM #18:	kind9 posted... Yellow posted... Linux wants to be taken seriously, but it also wants to force users to install things with the command prompt. That seems like kind of a backwards way of looking at it. I couldn't take a distro seriously if it tried to have a GUI app for every administrative task. Because that's when things tend to go wrong and you're left with your thumb in your ass wondering what to do now. If you're familiar with the command line then you're more likely to understand how to diagnose and fix problems. Anyway don't most mainstream distros have graphical package managers? Pretty much, Most distros you can just do everything through a GUI. It just takes a lot longer then using the command line because everything takes longer through a GUI. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. <cite>Dikitain posted [p:902300440] in I always g...
