minus-squaresilt_haddock@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·11 hours agoCLI requires remembering commands though, or developing patience with your up arrow key. And if you want help, is it “/h” or “/?” or “-h” or “—help” or “—h” or just “help” I can’t remember that I need to pee, let alone what commands do what, save for my up arrow. Don’t get me wrong, I’m in the terminal constantly, but I’ll pick a GUI over CLI every time if it’s an option.
