What a fucking leap. CLI does not equal complexity.

If you can write and read, you can use a CLI. Can you read and write? Great, you can learn CLI cmds.

People don’t want to use CLIs because unless you’ve been using computers before windows 95, chances are that all your life you’ve been using a GUI, and humans in general don’t like changes.

Going from Windows to any Linux distro is a big enough leap, and adding a new way to interact with your tool on top of that is too much at once for the vast majority of people.

With that said, a lot of Windows issues require you to use the CLI and mess with regedit to fix them. How is that any different than asking people to run a diagnostic command to troubleshoot their PC?

You can use a Linux distro through a GUI pretty much 99.9% of the time, just like Windows. The only difference is that on Linux, the CLI is much more powerful than the GUI, so the majority of users will use the CLI to troubleshoot.

Yeah, but regedit is a GUI. So it’s all cool and dandy.

I swapped my nozzle for an after market one, changed the heatsink as well on my K1.

I haven’t changed the my mobo on it, but I know there is a m5p mobo that can be swapped.

K1C is open sourced as far as I can tell. But I am not sure what you are asking here?

Someone has created a custom firmware for the X1C, but that’s pretty much it.

K2 isn’t open sourced, but it can still be rooted and you can use Fluidd or mainsail.

So Creality sucks for not open sourcing the k2 firmware, but it’s not the same level of shittiness as Bambu Lab

How is Creality equally proprietary? I can put mainsail or fluidd on the machine and use any slicer I so choose.

I much prefer using the terminal than the GUI if I can.

But I understand that not everyone likes the terminal.

To be fair, I couldn’t tell you how to run my file manager as root from the GUI because I don’t use it that much.

You don’t see how terrible Windows is until you’ve switched to another OS and need to interact with it again.

The constant pop-ups, the ads everywhere, the settings hidden away.

It really feels like your PC isn’t yours.

No please. Use a password manager with randomly generated usernames when possible.

Yeah my own creation are usually really blocky because I am lazy and I just need something fonctional haha

I never go that far in my projects, when are you using Minkowski transformations?

That’s a great point. OpenSCAD is lightweight and FOSS so it is a lot easier to share than Fusion360 for example

You can do parametric design in other CAD software, but openscad, being a coding software, lends itself particularly well for that.

In my experience doing parametric design in Fusion360 is a lot more tedious than in OpenSCAD.

I split my docker containers so that I can selectively backup what I want easily on proxmox

For example, I am currently running an Abiotic Factor server that I don’t care to backup. So I just dont add the container to the backups and I am done.

Proxmox is a great starting point for self hosting. You don’t need advanced features to start, and you can easily create VMs and containers.

Steam is selling lootbox and profiting from cs skins gambling. Pretty fucking scummy.

You can’t become a billionaire ethically. Steam has a pretty big market for lootboxes and cs skins gambling is pretty widespread.

Valve isn’t a walled garden. They allow other apps to be launched through their app and devs can sell steams key on other platforms.

It is still a mega corp, but trying to attack it from the walled garden angle is pretty dumb.

Because nobody enforces the law. There are so many mega corpos that needs to be broken up, but it doesn’t happen.

I agree with you that Linux has issues, but so does Windows and MacOS.

My point is that we usually use the same OS for years, so switching to any other OS will have its quirks. You don’t really see your OS quirks anymore because you’ve learned to work around through experience.

Every OS has their issues though. You take people that have decades of experience in an OS and ask them to change to a different workflow. So yeah, they won’t be proficient the second they load Linux.

You can create a infinite number of scenarios where there are issues with Linux, but the same can be done about Windows and MacOS
