I don’t want things to get simpler to the detriment of the power that Linux has. As long as there’s no regression who cares

No custom roms

I like to have control over my computing platforms? And I don’t like to have my shit break when they completely abandon the platform a couple months down the road? That’s why I want FOSS solutions.

Can we just get a thin tablet like e reader with small bevels that can run any normal OS? Android or Linux? Ik they are some but they are mostly Chinese with proprietary hardware and software…

Tbh the terminal is super convenient. No random UI placement. Most things follow one of several conventions so less to get used to. It’s easy to output the results of one command into another making automation obvious, no possibility for ads. It’s pretty sweet

True, but I was thinking the shell would be the best place. You can have with watch for file modifications preformed by the user and reach out to nautilus to update its recents. That way you don’t have to watch for all inotify events on receiving user updates, and you get all tools not just touch

Does bash have extensions? If not I know other shells do. Definitely something you could do there

That’s why file managers, but cp filename folder name is probably quicker if you are already in the terminal
