Being intimidated by the terminal is fine, but the sooner you learn it, the better. Terminal is your friend, not your enemy. Take baby steps if you need to, but you’re really doing yourself a disservice by staying away from the terminal.
Garuda is good for a newbie provided A) they love MacOS UI and B) they’re willing to bring their A game if something breaks.
Apparently yes.
Definitely recommend Soulseek. You’ll get higher-quality files, too.
“I don’t care if I get dirt in my mouth, but I better not get it in my hair.”
I love Arch, but it is not for beginners. WiFi and Bluetooth are both sketchy. Or, at least, they used to be.
If they aren’t worried about dirt, I doubt that they’re gonna be worried about spit or piss.
Thanks to your comment, I found out that PCSX2 uses CHDs. I thought that was a format that only MAME used.
In the case of archive.org, why not just download directly from the website? I’ve never seen a need to use their torrents.
Yeah, whenever I had a job that required a Mac, they had the decency to loan me one. If my job required me to buy one, I’d be looking for another job. I hate Macs.
It really all depends upon what you’re doing. Some people don’t like to leave the terminal, and editors like nano or micro aren’t powerful enough for them. If all you’re doing is working with configs or something like that, micro or nano is just as good as vim.
Learning vim has been fun for me, which is why it always seems weird to me when people say stuff like “why should I have to learn, etc.” It’s like there’s no point in doing something unless it puts money into your wallet?
Learning new things makes you a better person. It’s good for your brain.
It’s like asking why you should make the effort to bake cookies or learn origami.
Doing this is not only moral; it’s virtuous.

I keep my passwords in an encrypted file instead of a bunch of sticky notes! I’m a privacy activist!
Konsole and yakuake. Bear in mind that the terminal I was comparing them to was Windows’ CMD.EXE, and anything is better than that.
Yakuake is a Quake-style terminal, which means that you can open and close it with an F-key, and it scroll down from the top of the screen. This is both cool-looking and convenient. I like to have some window transparency, so that I can see through the terminal window somewhat. I also like to use a nerd font like Fantasque Sans Mono.
People are afraid of the terminal because Windows has a shitty, unfriendly terminal. One of the things that brought me back to Linux was the cool-looking terminals. They make me feel like I’m Hackerman.
Linux isn’t just a different operating system. It’s a paradigm shift. Windows is always going to dominate as long as people are trapped in a Windows mindset.
