      Just install pingu. You must learn the basics when you install an operating system…

      I’d do…

      • yay pingu
      • paru pingu
      • pamac install pingu

      They’d all work.

      Then I just did pingu lemmy.world

      This is a little bit like saying ‘What does a pen do, apart from write?’

      It also looks very cool - cool enough that even people don’t find things cute will actually change their normal ping to this JUST because it’s cute.

      However, if you like pings you could also go with gping for a graph… but they’re all just bloat - better stick with fping, right? ;)

        In this analogy a pen would be regular ping. A helpful little utility.
        Pingu would be a pen that looks fancy. Still does the same, just looks fancy.

          Fancy, yes. Not the same. For example: ping -a -c5 lemmy.world gives you an audible ‘drip’ sound for the ping.

          But people LOVE Pingu.
