Venat0r, in Why do you use the terminal?

Because its easy to make a script that can chain together a bunch of commands for tasks i do frequently, so its only one manual step to do it.

I think KDE plasma 6 has that by default

I think KDE had something like this when I used it years ago

Sometimes you’re not sitting at the machine you’re working on.

cmnybo, in Why do you use the terminal?

I use a lot of programs and scripts that I wrote myself and most of the time I couldn’t be bothered to make a GUI for them.

Beyond what people have posted, I also believe I saw something about GNOME planning to implement something like this soon™️

On my Mac running yabai it sometimes gets into this weird state where the mouse does this as it toggles rapidly back and forth between some windows. No idea what causes it…

On Linux I run i3 which kinda negates the need for the mouse finder since it will move the cursor to the active window.

I guess I didn’t remotely answer you question though!

Reproducable actions that do exactly what you expect.

Alawami, in Why do you use the terminal?

Gnome software store is absolute trash that never worked, so i had to use dnf from terminal. That’s about it.

exocortex, in Why do you use the terminal?

One could ask in return “why do you use a mouse”. The answer is probably “I’ve always done it this way” and not “after trying out different methods it’s the one that i prefer”.

Sina, in What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive?

This is really is not a good idea for a backup.

Kjatten, in Why do you use the terminal?

It’s easier than going through 10 menus (that are different depending on DE), because its universal on Linux systems

Is this Mario San Serif?

The only one I can think of off the top of my head would be Zimwiki.

I don’t know about any Android compatibility for Zim. It has been a long time since I have used it.
