    “graphical user interfaces make easy tasks easy, while command line interfaces make difficult tasks possible”

    • William E. Shotts Jr., The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction

    It has taken me a long time to get comfortable using a Linux CLI (definitely not as familiar with windows cmd prompt/powershell), and I know that if I log into a box anywhere, If it has sh or bash or some variant of those shells, I’ll be able to get by.

    Now, on my home server, moving & renaming a bunch of media files has me really wishing I had a DE installed there to Ctrl + click/Drag-n-drop…

    Also, I love using VScodium/Code as an IDE bc of its configurability & rich plugin ecosystem – but recently I had some performance hiccups with extensions not playing nice together and started (again) down the masochistic path of configuring neovim to use as an “IDE”…

      Why not mount your server as a share and use your desktop GUI to manipulate files? Then you can do both.
