@notnorm @Falmarri basically it enabled you to search your command history

I specifically enjoy NixOS but I wouldn't recommend it to beginners as the documentation isn't great and the distro works differently from all other distros.

I would recommend linux mint.

I think devs have an incentive to support it as it gains marketshare.

Easy anticheat for example didn't support #wine until after the steam deck came out

It's weird, I don't use the terminal on windows. TBF I never learned dos, so there is that

@Falmarri

I do a lot of copying and pasting as well, but what works very well as well is hitting control+r. When I found that out it sped up my workflow by quite a bit.

@livelongprosper @EliteCow

Yeah, this is the case if you're a heavy terminal user. However, for a lot of people this is no longer necessary.

For a lot of people where just stock #gnome or #kde is good enough, and you use the software store app to install applications, you rarely have to touch the terminal and as such don't have to know the commands.

That being said, as a heavy #neovim and #emacs user, the power provided by actually knowing the commands is something that I could not do without.

Are you using hot or active? If you're using active it is because someone posted a comment, as it works via most recent comment instead of post date

@JackBruhhh @rei

electron does consume quite a bit more ram than it should.

Either way, I don't really have much of a problem with it.
