For simple screen recording, I could only find not-so-simple OBS that let me record a part of a screen. In the end it’s a good and reliable solution once you set up and save the local area I want to record. Not so spontaneous, but solid.

I edit the videos in KDEnlive Windows install, which is excellent for this work. I have a smooth process and create many videos quickly.

GUIs can have just as many options. Sure there are programs with poor UX. Choose a good one. There are also many GUIs with no CLI alternative, or only a poor UX alternative. As the GUIs guide the user, small changes are understood right away. GUIs remember last settings all the time. Great for reuse. If you have to write a command down, for GUIs it need not be perfect. For CLI one letter wrong and it fails. Using man commands is yet another command to learn and does not work with all CLI commands. It is possible to automate GUI commands.

And even if there was some benefit to a CLI, the entire UX is so poor you can understand why most people prefer GUIs. It’s the dominant way for good reason. And why most CLI users use a web browser and GUI email client.

Yes, but once again, the fanboys will hail it as an Apple invention.

Great. Now everyone will be copying Apple’s foldable idea.

If they choose to support Twitter, they must expect to take the consequences. It’s a known cess pit. Being active on a centralised network does harm. You can’t grizzle after drawing innocent people in to such a bad place.

Not at all.They are 2 ways do the same thing. The GUI can tell you what options are available. The CLI needs you to memorise them, or go somewhere else to look them up.

Thanks. I’ve tried it. But it’s not a permanent mount. The program needs to be running all the time. And it frequently times out. A very poor experience. Other OSs do much better.

Mount a network share permanently on Kubuntu. Non IT people need to do backups too. And Plasma apps can’t access network shares unless they are mounted.

On my home PC everything is FOSS. I’m a serious hobby user of Inkscape and GIMP. No advantage to using commercial alternatives.

Work PC is all commercial software. For me FOSS CAD doesn’t come close.

That’s not a PR thing. I vote PR with a single vote. So no donkey voting possible.

It might be possible with STV. Like in Ireland. It depends on the ballot form I guess.
