Lol ok
As long as it's easy to setup, anything would be good. After many years of asking, nobody has been able to suggest anything.
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.
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.
Not great to laugh at the mess Linux is in, due to people paddling in different, incompatible, directions. Users can't choose the package format. They have to take what they are given. Good or bad. I don't care which format. As long as it works. But this is a good way to scare more people off of Linux.
Ecosia search. For the trees. Think of the trees.
Maybe the guide is not intended for some beginners after all?
Yes. Owning a car is a constant expense. For something that gets used a small percent of the day.
I rent if I ever need a car. The rent by-the-minute schemes near me include charging or fuel, insurance and everything for ~25ct/minute. Ideal for local trips with passengers. Otherwise I bike everywhere in Munich.
The terminal is obscure in itself. I'm not sure how to start it or what commands to use.
I just meant that, as a Plasma user, there is a missing function. And backing up is quite important too.
Yes I tried the RcloneBrowser. But there is no way to create a new Sync in the GUI. Only manage already configured ones. Unless it's well hidden.

I'm a non IT user interested in usability. I left Windows 7, on my home PC, over 10 years ago, as Linux has a good selection of Desktop Environments to choose from. So I get to try different ways of working. Windows has loads of tweaks. But no serious alternative desktops. Work PC is Windows only sadly.
