Yesterday I was on a voice call with some TRON players, and a new player had a problem with their game failing to download some of the multiplayer maps. So we were helping this new guy download his maps from the website manually, and someone in the voice chat said “Just use curl to download them, it’s easier than using the gui”.

Now for those who don’t know, curl is the command line interface command to access a website. So this person is saying it’s easier to browse the internet in a bash client, typing in all your commands, than to use firefox to surf the internet.

Linux users, man! I have so much respect for the older people who are so used to using CLIs

    I added that part you bolded after I realised I had poorly communicated My tone. However, by then the damage was already done, and people continued to downvote because the post already had downvotes.

      I see. Let’s see if the damage can be undone by enough ‘new’ readers, then ;)
