If you even write one line of bash you are programming. The way you’re describing it only makes sense if you’re using the terminal like dmenu_run. You metaphor breaks down the moment someone so much as uses cd. Even worse once you throw a pipe or redirect in. All of this you absolutely will have to do when installing Arch.

Its absolutely irresponsible to tell people that installing and running Arch Linux is like talking to a discord bot.

Early 00-10s indie synth:

• Emancipator : Soon It Will Be Cold Enough
• All India Radio : Echo Other
• Boards of Canada
• Four Tet: There is Love In You
• Tycho : Awake

Similar video gamey music:

• El Heurvo : A Thing With Feathers
• Scattle : Sketch
• Com Truise

Early dubstep:

• Mala : Eyez
• Burial
• Zomby
• Skream

Late 90s breakbeat:

• Crystal Method : Vegas
• ILS : Bohemia, Music,
• Evil Nine : You Can Be Special Too
• Adam Freedland : Now & Them

If you’re mindlessly pasting commands, sure… but you have zero idea what your fucking with if you think bash is simpler than HTML.

In the context of maintaining an Arch distro you will absolutely need to understand that executing CLI commands is in fact programming.

is the basic arch CLI commands any different from discord bots? it feels easier to use if you think its same as playing with a discord bot. using CLI isnt some kind of programming

Thanks for the hearty chuckle, zoomer.

Bash and all other shell languages are programming languages. The terminal is just a REPL for a language primarily meant to be used as a REPL for managing your OS.
