#define "almost exclusively"
Web browsing, with modern insistence on JavaScript sh&t for displaying static
text ("single-page apps" for web sites being a major offender), virtually
cannot be done on terminal.
Other than that and playing media files (I happen to really like Exaile for
music), I can't think of anything I do in GUI.
- veddox 10y agoYeah, single page apps can be really annoying. Sure, they look great on a modern browser with good internet, but take away either of these two, and they're a pain in the neck. On the plus side: that does mean that I waste less time online when I'm in the terminal...
- dozzie 10y ago> [SPAs] look great on a modern browser with good internet, but take away either of these two, and they're a pain in the neck. You don't even need to do that. Just try to open a part of the web page in another tab. Most of single-page apps fail this simple test, which is a very important way I interact with web sites.
