    I’ve been using Linux since around 1998. Back then it was fair to say that the command line was occasionally needed. I personally prefer the command line because it is much more powerful, and I can do so much more with it. Shockingly, I do not use Arch. (I’m on Gentoo.)

    But, I also maintain an Xubuntu computer for my wife. I haven’t needed the command line for it ever that I can recall. I log in occasionally and it pops up a GUI prompt for me to install updates. GUI updater comes up, and a GUI sudo dialog elevates my permissions. Everything is updated through GUI. Everything my wife needs to do (including occasionally adding or updating a wifi connection) is done through the GUI.

    (Don’t get me started on their stupid mix of snaps and debs, though. That is a huge pet peeve.)

    Re: command line - have you ever seen a person try to move a bunch of 1 type of file from one dir to another in MS Windows Explorer file manager? Best case scenario, they know to ctrl-click to select several non-sequential files. Worst case, they drag and drop each file individually. In the command line, just do ‘cp *jpg …/destination-dir/’.

    I was shocked to find HFCS (and a bunch of other sh*t) in SOY SAUCE in the USA! WTF?

    Sorry, but if you look at real soy sauce in Asia, it has like 4 ingredients - water, soy, maybe some alcohol (from the fermentation?), and 1 or 2 that I forget. USA soy sauce (that I looked at) has like 10 ingredients.

    Looking at labels (on Amazon) now, Kikkoman seems to use the traditional recipe - no HFCS. But, La Choy soy sauce does have HFCS in it.

    Gentoo on my home computer. Started way back in the day when you had to recompile source RPMs on RPM-based distros to get CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) language support. Debian language support was excellent, but I didn’t enjoy always being 5 package versions behind, especially as fast as some software was being developed.

    CJK isn’t an issue anywhere anymore, but I stay on Gentoo because it has all the packages I want, and it doesn’t force systemd on me.

    Will be moving away from Ubuntu on my work computer because of all the foolishness with ‘is it deb or is it snap?’. Not sure what I’ll go to.
