    thing with terminal is you don’t need to memorize commands, syntax and options. If you do it’s poor design. Good code lets you find things you didn’t know you were looking for intuitively, without external resources or manual. Gui requires you to know what exactly you are doing and is impossible to use without external resources. Nothing against gui but unless you know what you are doing and every click required to complete that action, it’s ass. If term was so bad and gui was so good, terminals would not be used by anyone.

    I mean you dont go around copy pasting device ids and running buttons for 20 minutes to connect your device through gui when it is done with 2 commands in the term even by someone who has never used a pc before.

          Your guide did literally nothing other than return errors. Seems like even you don’t know how to do this. And you follow wrong instructions that don’t work up with asking for coordinates of buttons for gui, this is scraping the bottom of the barrel. As in you’ve gone through the barrel, through the bottom, dug through the entire earth and are scraping the bottom of another barrel from under it.

          I like the terminal on linux a lot, but with arguments like these you need to touch grass at least once a year my friend.

            Thats a lot of text without a single x y coordinate buddy. Try harder while touching that grass, won’t ya?
