Ignore videos about vim or windows manager vs. tile manager or any of that bullshit. You don’t need that shit at all. I go into these things just because it’s quick snd enjoyable sometimes, but I literally do not care about being “efficient” at programming. I don’t care about saving 5.23 seconds changing navigating through a folder with my keyboard. I will use my arrow keys. I will use my mouse. I will use an editor with a debugger, thank you.

I use Linux as a daily desktop. I do use my terminal often, but that’s because I find it easy, but literally 99% of the things I do don’t require it. Just download most things from the App Store, install games, click play.

Sometimes you’ll need to tweak certain settings to get a game working. It’s annoying, but if you’re comfortable editing game files to mod then this is no different. Many tools exist, and sometimes you don’t even need a tool. You just click and drag a file to your game folder.

Someone really needs to make an introduction to Linux video where not a single command line is used to get things up and running lol. As easy as it is, people see a terminal and they shit themselves. Understandable, but that’s why you need to show that these distros exist to draw in people who never want to touch a command line.
