So just to be clear I went with a very lazy move to linux from windows. I was not looking to use my day to day in a unixy type way and wanted something that I can install and go without much muss or fuss. So I went with zorin and yeah I have dropped to the command line for some apt installs or such but bascially it was only as needed. Very minimal. Anyway today Im messing with folders and files and suddenly it hit me. Im on linux I can do a lot of this easier with the command line. I know its stupid but my day to day sorta has a mouse brain guie mode and I sorta forget how much easier it is to do some stuff using syntax. So going forward im going to be bringing up the command line to do the things that are quicker.
EDITED - guys I have used command line for years. before there even was a gui. Im trying to say I grew out of the habit but using linux at home is getting me back into it.
I doubt im going to add anything to my bashrc but again I did not think I would go to the command line as a preference like I did so maybe it will happen. Even back in the day I actually just had a blurb print out when I used windows syntax back when I was learing linux syntax. I may just actually throw some aliases in if I start using complex enough commands but for now its just a few simple things.
Starting small and going slow is totally fine. Maybe you will level up to scripting and whatnot, maybe you won’t. What I think matters is having fun, learning, and getting things done.
ok. I have written scripts but when there is a reason. I doubt I will for my day to day. User account creation. Completely makes sense. I don’t need it to move around files or rename them. sorry I have been getting so many replies like I have never used the command line till today when I thought my post made it clear I just have not really used them with my personal machine unless I had a specific reason to.
