I know we all enjoy being nerds and using commands (H4ckerman). But now that everything is either a gui or web based, is there really any use to terminal commands?
For example, on windows I never used powershell or cmd hardly ever. I realize now I probably could have. But Linux just drives me to use it more, which i like anyway (because let’s be honest, it makes us feel superior)
Here’s a repost of another comment I made not long ago of things you can do in the terminal:
Listen to music:
Read the news
Download Linux ISOs
Browse the interwebs
Listen to podcasts
And so, so much more!
As others have mentioned on the fly scripting is something I could never do without. Batch renaming with a quick loop, regex searches, parsing webpages, etc. It’s so much faster than trying to find a program to do what I want, that probably won’t do it exactly like I want.
