Why is the GUI not working?
Can't you just select the files (CTRL-A to get them all, and CTRL-H first if you want hidden files) and CTRL-C to copy them, and then get to where you want them and CTRL-V??
Might be quicker in the terminal, but no reason for the GUI not to work.

the vanilla config may be unnintuitive for first time users, specially the keybindings since emacs is a system older than C-c, C-x, C-v.
the gui also looks bad on vanilla config, the terminal one looks much better.
But I think it pays of staying and geting used to it.

Also Webmin is 1000x better than it was when I last used circa 2008.
I’ve only used the terminal since then, but am trying it b/c of the amount of time I use iOS. A GUI is just easier there.
Worth looking at it you haven’t in a while! If only to return to the early days of perl, inetd, and Apache.

C or C++ would have been my guess. Telling them apart from context in a movie would be a real challenge given the state of C++ then.
Was he using a mouse GUI or a text terminal? If it’s a blue background then I would suspect Turbo C++, which was available for under $100 and looked very computery.

yay the bootstrap screen is done and its first collage i've made with objective-c and now wen the thing turns on all the output comes out in the side part and then from here it will load the operating system and either bring up another terminal window or load the the gui interface and im EXCITED

Today's #OpenGL practice Demo
just learning 3D graphics, and a lot is going on in this video. First off it is not using a GUI based game engine; everything is C++ code compiled with a compiler in the terminal. Game engine it is using is coded from the bottom up Eventually, demos will get better.

I had to get good at it - I’ve been exclusively a Linux/Mac and mostly terminal/non-gui engineer 😅 I’m mostly neutral towards it. But it helped me get better at functional programming, which is nice as c++ adds more functional features. Idk zx or node tbh 😅

Defaults are very important, specially when doing GUI-configurable applications because they’re the easiest config to reproduce
That said, dear terminal emulators, please STAY THE FUCK OUT OF ALT, CTRL AND FN KEYS
Except for CTRL+SHIFT+{C,V} of course

I would actually love someone to explain how apple expects you to use multiple desktops, b/c for me I have 10 desktops open all with the same 2 or 3 apps on them -- I have a lot of ongoing projects, and I need a terminal and browser and possibly a GUI editor/IDE for each of them

if there's anything i miss about linux, it's how easy it was to set my VPN up in terminal. the command was literally just "nordvpn c", and then it just connected, somehow it was more reliable than their shitass fucking windows GUI. made torrenting a lot easier, lemme tells ya

I have to say, b/c I learned how to program waaaay back when, my current set-up is still quite reminiscent of my set-up from 30+ years ago. I run Emacs in its own window, with basically every GUI aspect shut off, plus a Cygwin terminal window.
I have indulged in some wideness, though: 120 chr each.

I use Ubuntu, and live inside the terminal, so I am not personally familiar with the Mint software manager, but it should be pretty intuitive.

Linux is a good number two for me as a Mac user. My PC runs linux. I like the shared Unix underpinnings. Problem is you don't have the same selection of quality GUI apps as on Mac. Also I really like the Mac keyboard shortcuts better. Command-C in GUI mix better with Ctrl-C in terminal.
