    So the advantage of GUIs over CLIs is discoverability, right? But the processes for reading logs or fixing hardware issues in Windows are not really discoverable, you still have to search the net and learn, so what’s the difference? That the keyboard is scary?

    I think most of these complaints are just borne of unfamiliarity.

    But to answer your question, as a Bazzite user: definitely “I don’t know”. I’ve been using linux for years, it’s natural to me to just open the terminal for many things, therefore I’m not sure whether there are roadblocks to a 100% mouse usage, but to be honest, if all you do is use the browser, office suite and games, I’d say that yes, your need to resort to the terminal is almost zero.









  • I’m at the difficult stage of contemplating how to decom my gmail email, and the Google account itself.

    I have a couple of domains at OVH, and for the last few years I’ve been using email aliases when making accounts, all redirecting to my Gmail. The other day I had enough, created a mailbox on one of the domains, changed all aliases to this new address, and installed Thunderbird mobile. So far it’s been going well.
    The webmail runs roundcube, which is usable but not great. The biggest problem I’ve had is the inability to create automatic filters.

    Edit: forgot about the calendar, I’ve moved that to my Nextcloud instance
