It's also interesting that it has made somewhat of a comeback after some newer technologies have faded away

Ohhh I see. I suppose it's all about the setting. For some reason I was imagining people wearing them like a fashion statement or something 🤦🏻‍♂️

🤔 I don't think I've seen a bandage on anyone's ear in my area (at least not in any recent years), and there's no shortage of MAGA people here. Where was this happening? It sounds like it would have been funny lol

If you’ve never used the terminal before, how do you know what to type?

Start pushing buttons. Start typing things, try pressing tab variously. Look up guides, introductions, help.

Sure, but my point is: I don't think I've ever seen a terminal present those instructions when you open it. Unless it's immediately shown in some MOTD or something, the average user isn't going to take the time to figure it out if they don't have to.

If my grandmother wanted to draft a letter on her computer, she'd use something that looks more like Notepad and less like Vi.

OpenSUSE always seemed underrated IMO, especially in those pre-Ubuntu days. Such a polished UX overall

Eh, I think it's just about ease of use and discovery. When you open a terminal, it just shows a blinking cursor. If you've never used the terminal before, how do you know what to type?

In a graphical desktop environment, you see icons, menus, etc. If you open a GUI application, you usually see buttons and things to click, and maybe even some guidance on how to use the app.

A lot of people just want to use their computer without too much of a learning curve. Most people are not powerusers.

🤔 I wouldn't guess that "commies" are the demographic that would go to a Kid Rock show

How would a surveillance state even prevent that?
