Please stop being scared of the Linux terminal
Quoting: Please stop being scared of the Linux terminal —
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
When making my move from Windows to Linux, I dodged the Terminal as much as humanly possible. I mean, why would I use it? It was big, it was scary, there were no installers to run or icons to double-click, and I had to type in what I wanted to do. And if I typed in the wrong thing, my Linux PC would explode and create a small cartoonish crater on my desk; at least, that's what it felt like.
However, as I kept using Linux, I realised that it was less my enemy and more my friend. Yes, it was still a friend that would annihilate my operating system if I typed in the wrong thing, but it was still a friend nonetheless. Now, I really like using the terminal, and I default to it whenever I can.
