I have been using Linux for about 5 years and although I don’t consider that I know much, I know enough to fix my own problems and that’s usually enough for me.
Since Plasma 6 was announced I wanted to test something other than XFCE, Gnome or Plasma (or any DE) so I give it a try with ArcoLinuxD i3wm and is increible the amount of things I learn the ‘hard way’ because there was no GUI to do the things I want to do, or maybe I was too lazy to do it with the terminal since there is always the ‘easy way’.
Things that might be very easy for a lot of people, but I never take the time to learn, like mounting drives, running programs from startup, setting environment variables, creating desktop entries, and a lot of other things I didn’t even remember. I even learned to use things that used to give me a headache just looking at it, like Vim, xdg, the Archwiki (that is super useful) and the manpages.
It’s ironic because something that started as an experiment is now my daily drive, and now that Plasma 6 has been released, I don’t want to leave i3 behind.
Do you understand the terms OP used? Did you even read the post? So, OP was doing things the ‘easy way’ using GUI tools in Gnome/Plasma/XFCE and is now using CLI tools in a window manager that he chose. Please explain to me how does this lead to Linux devs are mean and you need a CS degree to install a browser on Linux.
OP didn’t even understand the terms they’re using, considering they’re talking about starting to use a window manager, when they’re moving from a graphical window manager to a console, even though i3 handles both consoles and GUI tiles.
I don’t think. But the Linux advocators are very mean so that their user can’t figure out things themselves and always want people to help them.
(the last paragraph is the main content)
YOU REALLY NEED!
If not, why there are so many post on bad quality websites like itsfoss, tecmint, etc… and they have to taught you to use your package manager! They have to a bunch of
apt-get install EEEEEEEEEEEEEdnf install AAAAAAAAAAandsudo .... .... ......(while I want apk, doas, …)
They expect Linux users to be a completely brainless person that will do everything they are told. Those Linux users learn things hardly with this background. So a CS degree is required.
Do you see that such Linux user always complain about “lack of documentation” when they “try” BSDs? Even FreeBSD (they have a forum)?? The documentation of programs and software doesn’t hold your hand and teach you on installing something. This effectively render such Linux user unusable, hang.
