Hi, everybody Recently, a guy noticed that I was using it and asked why? For me it because in Linux many things are done through the terminal because Linux has many different desktop environments

He also compared terminal commands with cheat codes in GTA and other games, he understands what benefits you take from them, but not from terminal commands

    The terminal is like a direct access to do things on the computer. A GUI is a program someone made to do a task the way he envisioned it to be done. If this task is not exactly what you need, you’re out of luck.

      Unfortunatelly, Windows doesn’t offer this. Yes, you can do certain things via cmd or PowerShell, but not everything.

        Indeed. In windows it’s much more convoluted. You need to go in the registry to find the hidden parameters. Or specific hidden tools.

          Exactly. You go hunting for hidden reg entries to do this or that 😒… and it’s usually not something that should be hidden, like making your taskbar thin again, why would you remove that feature and make it hidden 🤦.
