Not that I don’t still love using linux daily, but it is getting a little old having to search for how to do anything even just install a simple program (recently, had a. Deb file to install unifi software that wouldn’t install and had to find a custom script to do it).

I feel like there’s no way I’d ever learn all the random commands I’ve been copying and pasting (and keeping in a text file for later) and can’t help but feel it’s kind of clunky. And I don’t feel like I really know anything of what Im doing. Even man pages baffle me. I’ve been into computing for 20 years but only used linux a little like 8 years ago, but now it’s been my main os on my desktops for probably 2 months. I know, maybe that’s just not long enough. I just don’t like the fact that if I couldn’t search, I’d be completely stuck on a lot of tasks.

    Sounds like me trying to do stuff in Windows these days.

    I don’t like man pages though - it’s very rare for me to find their content useful as they always seem to be written for a skill level way above mine.

    …and I’ve been using Linux since 2005.

      Man can be a bit arcane, but they generally have the keys to the kingdom.

      Admittedly, I have years of experience, but still.
