I agree with some of this - and the obvious example (call it a reverse example if you prefer) is the Steam Deck. It has about as much relevance to 'the normal user' as a car wiring diagram.ĬXB said:While it's true that the vast majority of everyday tasks in Linux can use the GUI interface, it only takes ONE exception to ruin that reputation. It's very important, and much needed.Ī GUI system enforces task orientation, delivering what is needed to accomplish the task, irrespective of the underlying structure.Ī terminal system involves knowledge of the underlying structure and their connectivity. I'd like to support your point about providing GUI instructions. Yes, Windows has had such problems too - going from 32-bit to 64-bit, for example, but it pretty well provides all maintenance tasks through a GUI, even regedit! Sure, Powershell is still needed by Systems Admins in commercial settings, but the 'normal single user' doesn't need to revert to it, EVER. And I'm not talking about some old, obscure hardware or driver.

That requires a commitment to maintain software and drivers, that isn't always forthcoming. This has a bearing on which directories are used for which purposes, and requires everyone to choose which structures they are going to deliver into. Some distributions favour certain 'flavours' etc. New ideas are introduced (systemd, snap etc) or expanded upon. The fact is, that Linux changes quite a lot, over time. They are tasks needed to maintain a modern system using common, commercial components. I've reverted to the old 'safe' settings.These aren't 'wonky tasks'. Having problems with an encrypted Home directory, that borked the Swap directory settings and impacted RESUME. PS, I'm not a Windows fan! I dual-boot and mainly use Linux Mint - a great distribution. Part of the 'fun'! (Yes, I can boot from any storage device my motherboard recognises, in Windows).

On a Raspberry Pi (yes, the most popular system ever manufactured), jump through a few hoops to get it to boot off a HDD or SDD (ok, not Pi4), eg replacing PARTUUIDs, modifying fstab etc. On a normal Secure Boot system, re-register the nVidia drivers(!) - that's now fixed.

Re-compile WLAN drivers (because the manufacturer didn't update them), from a generous Github individual.

While this is a great strength (in numbers), the lack of a commercial relationship and it's underlying responsibilities for warranty etc, means that some manufacturers do not support their products fully in Linux.Īs an example, over the past year, I've had to:įind bluetooth drivers online that have had to be renamed (as a different driver to the one it's chip is supposed to represent) and posted to the correct driver directory. It's in the nature of Linux that some applications and drivers are supported by entities outside the main distributors: manufacturers, talented individuals, talented teams, all contributing their work FREE of charge. While it's true that the vast majority of everyday tasks in Linux can use the GUI interface, it only takes ONE exception to ruin that reputation.

In reality, all but a handful of wonky tasks require the command line.Ĭommand line usage isn't any more required in any OS, comparitively.(Windows cmd, Mac terminal, Linux terminal.) We left that phase at least a decade ago - yet the myth persists. There is a pernicious and rampant myth out there that everything in Linux requires users to do things in the terminal. sudo usermod -aG sudo Deleting a User Via the Linux TerminalĮzst036 said:Thank you so much for also including the GUI parts of the tutorial. The G argument requires the name of the group(s) to which the user should be added. The first is -a and this appends the user. Add the new user to the sudo group using the usermod command. Using groups we can ensure that users in a group have these basic permissions without the need to individually assign permissions to them.Ģ. Group memberships are used to ensure that multiple users in a group have basic permissions and privileges. sudo adduser jamal Adding a User to A Group via the Linux Terminal Should there be an error you can type n to cancel the operation. Confirm the new user information by typing y and then press Enter. You don’t need to complete every piece of information.You can leave them empty by pressing the Enter key to skip them.ģ.

Create a password and user details for the new user account. When prompted enter your password to confirm that you have sudo privileges. Add a new user using the adduser command. If you are logged in as root you don’t need to add sudo to these commands.ġ.

In the following example we have used sudo at the beginning of commands as they require root or sudo privileges in order to run.
