  • I got Norovirus in 2021 with the worst timing, I was in the process of moving home. Basically couldn’t get help from friends because of covid restrictions and my partner at the time didn’t drive but the rental contract was up and couldn’t be changed.

    She helped a lot with the actual packing but we still had to load up and clean up the place, then drive multiple trips to/from the new place while I felt about as ill as I ever have. It was honestly one of the worst things I’ve ever had to do.











  • You are completely right.

    I do also get why the run these commands is a thing, because it’s usually faster and also is distro / desktop environment agnostic.

    Why would someone want to write separate guides for Gnome, KDE, Cinnamon etc. when one or two commands will suffice? But on the flip side, my family and friends will see a scary looking command and immediately be put off.

    I feel it’s getting a lot better since more apps are just in the browser or electron apps, there’s way way less to actually configure for most end users. The type of people put off by commands generally won’t go digging through the settings anyway.

    I do wish there were a proper GUI for configuring GRUB though. Any that I’ve ever found seemed to fall out of date very quickly.
