Mastering? It's an OS not a skill.
Are really looking down on people because you open the terminal often instead of being able to click something?

I use Mac and also open terminal often. Then again, Iβm a software engineer and I have work to do, that doesnβt include trying to troubleshoot problems with my OS.
I'm in the same position. My Linux machine is for gaming and .... Interesting tasks that could be hazardous to set up on my Mac.
The hardware quality is sublime as well. However, dailing Linux for a bit and going back to MacOS made me appreciate it more. Homebrew is a hair slow tho π

Avast! Nothing interesting to see here mateys. It just be a Linux server serving...files. The legally obtained kind, I might add. Yarrr!
Plus the Mac is a wee skiff in the open sea.

I used to use ~~MacOS~~ OS X in the mid-2000s, and the reason why I liked it was precisely because it was the best UNIX.
It's a shame Apple moved away from things like bash, Applescript, Automator, Xserve, machines with toolless chassis and good upgradability, etc.
There's a better timeline where Woz was also brought back to Apple, OS X was just another linux distro that came with Apple's very nice hardware, and the combined Linux and Mac user space meant game devs would take it seriously. Also, Mac/linux had a real foothold in the educational space again.

Mastering? It's an OS not a skill.
Linux skills are often a requirement of sysadmin jobs.

It's this community, so yes.
Are really looking down on people because you open the terminal often instead of being able to click something?
Uh...No. Of course not. That would be silly.
It's all in good fun...I hope.

The more I learn, the bigger the abyss becomes. I will never master Linux. I will, at best, learn some of the currents and how to sail them safely.
I am root
I am root
I am root
PC won't boot
I am grub
Love that Star Trek memes are spreading to other communities.
But is it really a different community? Sure, the name is different, but it's probably the same people.
Literally all the meme comms are just linuxmemes.
Locked away in a box for years and suicidal?
Considering they often have the same shell, this is pretty funny
I copied my .zshrc from my Linux laptop to my work Mac, and yep, it all feels the same. A few minor differences (ls on Linux will allow arguments after the files, on Mac it won't) and a few things to learn (I never really used open on Linux, but it's essential on Mac), and the clipboard interface is different (xclip vs. pbcopy
but that doesn't really count, since it's a GUI thing).
The only weird difference I've run into has been the stat command behaving differently with dif args
I approve of this message.
Glad to see my template being put to good use.

I've had to use a M2 pro for a month now. I expected dumb design choices. I did not expect the amount of bugs and incorrect implementations. MacOS feels like such a shitty operating system. Hardware is decent though.

So then Windows is one of the random genocidal Soong cousins?
Windows is Jar Jar who somehow found his way here.
