Indeed it is not, and neither is it sensible for updating.
it certainly is, and is the *most* sensible. how can you even say it is not sensible when you didn't even know about it or didn't consider it first?
Good point. I'm not one of the MS-inclined who hides behind GUIs and expect the intelligence of the GUI designers to be my guiding light. The GUI hides options and hides what's going on. Using the CLI offers more and in particular offers more visibility. Felix gives the example of
zypper al *emoji*
Although the Yast UI is better designed than many, this is an illustration. Most GUIs don't permit wild-carding. You have to do a step-and-repeat. Even with Yast, while you can search with a wild-card you still have to step-and-repeat tagging what you want and selecting the subsequent operation. The zypper version is so much more succinct and visible. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
