    People assume it’s all terminal all the time. I haven’t needed to open the terminal for months. It starts up. With the GUI I open the browser. Maybe steam, too. Do stuff. Shut down.

      While this may be true (I really have no idea at this point), terminal is a superpower, pretty much the best option for anything except manually dragging and dropping files one by one.

        Nautilus can move groups of numbered files, which is useful for image frames stored separately. But it has bugs. One of them won’t let you start a sequential move from any number other than 1. Which is idiotic.

        Dolphin can’t even do that.

        The command line can, easily.

        I never use the terminal. It’s not necessary for me. I’m not an IT user. I’m not missing out on anything. Many things I do don’t even have a terminal command. It’s important new users know this if they are not in to IT.
