you can just type what program you want. It’s not year 2000 anymore.

Typing the name of the program you want is a 1970s thing.

Good response to be honest. :)

Only a bit tongue-in-cheek... :)

Sometimes typing something is better, sometimes just clicking a button is better. It just depends on... too many things to list.

Yes ironically desktop environments "revolutionized" computing by not having a way to type what program we want to then, after decades re-introduce that :D

Yep, because we realized the pointy clicky hand-eye coordination paradigm is often not an improvement.

@TCB13 @RoboRay I don’t remember a distro or DE that lacked a command line. Hell, even windows never actually abandoned it.

Sure, which makes it curious that the previous comment implied that it's a new thing since 2000 when it's actually a very old thing.
