| Topic | Is it normal for lay-users to not find the command prompt all that helpful? |

If so, when do you usually need to use it?My favorite Linux distro is Slackware and it doesn't have any GUI tool for software management. Even the best 3rd-party package manager, sbopkg(which is just a front-end to slackbuilds.org), is a curses-based shell script. Also the entire system is mostly configured through shell scripts and plain text files. Using a quick for loop in the terminal is a good way to process files/folders individually and run commands on them and I found myself doing that often. I mean the terminal is extremely useful, but most people don't want to learn that shit because they have no reason or interest. CMD doesn't even compare to a Linux terminal. Maybe Powershell is more like it. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
