My buddy Conrad performs most actions on his computer through Terminal in Fedora. I'd say about 80% of the tasks, he'd much rather type in the command, rather than point and click with the mouse.

I remember watching him in college say "oh shit, there's a typo on my website," log into Terminal, connect to his web server, locate the file, open it, make the necessary changes, save the file, and upload it, all in a matter of seconds. To me it seemed faster than going through multiple graphical user interfaces to do the same thing.

I can do your basic commands, but obviously need to reference the Google machine when I'm curious about more complex things like changing mouse sensitivity.

Are you more of a GUI user or do you do a lot of tasks in Terminal (Mac/Linux) or Cmd.exe (Windows)?

Remember that one time you taught me how to upload shit to a website using an FTP and all that jazz because I didn't know shit?

Clearly not a command prompt guy.

But like you, I know some shit, some tricks and stuff. I'm not that experienced, though. I wouldn't mind learning more commands. It seems really handy.

PC: Rarely use CMD. I use it to ping and that's it. :P

Unix: I do a lot via terminal. It's a LOT quicker. For example, to open something in dropdown... It's quicker for me to use cd, auto-complete, and "open ." than to open dropbox's folder and navigate down folders. :P
