    Just cos it’s Foss doesn’t mean it follows the Linux philosophy

    I honestly think it’s mostly a problem with the idea that the Office apps are extremely bloated, kitchen sink apps. No one should be looking at Word or Libre Writer and thinking “I’m going to build a contracting system for my clients out of that” or “I bet I could make an inventory system in there” and yet…

      Yep.

      People try to use Word as a desktop publishing app then complain how it shifts images around. Thats because it’s for documents, which flow page to page.

      Use Publisher for DTP, or a real, industry app. Same problem of using Excel for a database purpose.

  That’s the UNIX philosophy, not the Linux philosophy. That idea predates Linux by like a decade.

    Apologies, but I’ll also take it since Linux is a subset of Unix. But right you are, it originates there… But is Linux the most interaction we have with Unix like OS in this day and age?

  That philosophy has never been successfully applied in the GUI space and especially not in the Linux world.

    Begs the question for gui’s then or?

    I always wonder what another interaction scheme would look like if it weren’t for “click”, I’ve always wondered about tunnels or roads, like we do in real life, to continuously travel toward a destination, rather than discretely click.

    Didn’t have to be this way. CLI is underrated as any computer dev knows, power is in the knowledge. How about we apply the search to cli commands, what happens then?
