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.

    Good stuff, glad it’s working out for you! I use CachyOS with KDE and I can get by pretty easy using Dolphin for most of my file needs. I do use the terminal quite a bit managing the Debian server running our friend group’s Minecraft server though!

      yeah and gui sometimes is the easier route like when moving over large parts of the file structure and your not repeating the action. I was just making a few folders and cleaning out a folder with to many disparate things when I realized its just much easier to make directories and move files over one or two folders especially when the names are similar.
