      I like how everything that is called gnome is, uglier, flatter, and with WAY LESS features/functionality
      i only use gnome disks to power off drives tho, but gparted is just way superior, that and kparted or whatever is called

        what actually useful stuff can gparted do that gnomedisks can't?

          a wider list of filesystems? doesn't gnome disk gives you the option to format to ext4, xfs, btrfs and fat/ntfs only?

        1) read what you typed before pressing enter
        2) both fdisk and lvm do not go to purposefully overwrite actual data. Just remove the mess you made and put correct numbers into the table.

            this once again shows that LULZ ist a bunch of unemployed NEETS. if you learn how to do it the proper way at home, you can apply that skill to your fucking job. if you connect to your linux server using rdp and install gnome on it, your coworkers will rightfully laugh at you.

              Google works well enough for either of these situations. GUI is still better if you have a DE.

              not everyone employed is a linux sysadmin anon. The LARP is obvious. And assuming the machine has a DE, why not use gparted?

    Everything is better with a GUI.

    Linux users pretend that you can't script and automate a GUI, not understanding that Microsoft solved that problem 30 or 40 years ago.

    Linux users pretend a GUI will eat all their resources, not understanding that Amigas had a GUI, Englebart and team had a GUI on a 1960s computer, and their terminal is drawing colors and Unicode glyphs on a GPU.

    Linux users pretend GUIs are for n00bs, which is proof that they really only feel superior for learning some arcane bullshit. That you can replace CLI commands with a simple GUI that anyone can use should show everyone that what is being done is simple and easy and the CLI tools are what is shitty and complex, not the task. Instead Linux users put forth the cope that if the GUI makes it easy, the GUI must be at fault somehow.

      ssh terminal is wonderful, it takes a bit of trial and error to learn a new system
      I use a GUI on my linux system, but I prefer scripts and term to do some tasks.

      Funny posting, because the Windows partition manager GUI is utter dogshit, can't shrink partitions or move them if they arent in one specific state and gparted is lightyears ahead of it.
      And this already for decades.

        Sounds like you agree it would be better with a GUI.

        This is nothing to do with the GUI, it connects to the Virtual Disk service which "Provides management services for disks, volumes, file systems, and storage arrays." - as does the command line diskpart. That Windows can't shrink NTFS is because Microsoft didn't code that, not because there is a GUI disk management interface.

          Of course it can. On new PC's with preinstalled Windows I've used the Volume Management GUI to shrink the C: drive to make room for a linux install several times over the years.

            You're right, but maybe he is talking about *that* issue where you can only give the value the disk manager decides, it's quite anoying, but yes i recommend to shrink/extend inside windows

            why should i care i don't use crap like f2fs

            sure, i knew that, there are lots of things you probably don't use, and that's fine, gnome only knows about removing functionalities and making huge buttons

              fuck man its too true, but taking away extra things to tweak isn't entirely a bad thing in my case, i'll find myself getting too focused on screwing with my desktop setup in kde instead of getting stuff done
