    Having to do most real things besides browsing the internet via command line on 2025 is definitely a sign of gatekeeping , imo. Yours may vary

      Having to do most real things besides browsing the internet via command line on 2025

      What are these “most things”? I haven’t had to use the command line on this laptop I am typing on since I got it a year ago. Files, music, shares, my own cloud storage on s3, photo editing, etc? What are “most things” to you?

      And even if it was “most things” you are not showing an example of gatekeeping. Give me an example, such as you submitting a pull request for a GUI for a current command line only “most things” that was rejected.

          I am being disingenuous? You make a very bold claim that people are “gatekeeping” open source software. You then claim that everything in Linux outside of web browsing requires the command line. I am completely serious.

          All I am asking you to do is back up those claims.

          Either you have a specific gripe that should be addressed, or you are just spreading bullshit online or trolling. Which one is it?
