Mouseless web browsing update#

During this time, I’ve never managed to update it to its next major version without the need to reinstall everything manually, again and again. But I didn’t know any other alternative, so I kept using Ubuntu for years. All and all, it took me days to get back to the system I had before the crash. The worst part was reconfiguring everything. I had to reinstall everything manually - Ubuntu and all my tools.

Ubuntu was abstracting all the nitty-gritty for me not to care about it. I had no idea how I could solve the problems I was facing because I had no idea how Linux was working under the hood. One day, something terrible happened: I had to update Ubuntu to its next major version. I was often the victim of display bugs and crashes, and it was getting slower and slower as time passed. Suddenly, I had access to the Linux shell, a tool offering many ways to automate everything I didn’t want to do again and again.īut Ubuntu wasn’t without drawbacks. Once upon a time, in the magical land of Software development, there was a young developer, your humble servant, discovering Linux for the first time. This can save a lot of cognitive energy as well as deliver a pleasant user experience. You can use tools that fit nicely with each other, you can customize everything depending on your own needs, and the biggest of all, you can control your entire development environment with your keyboard. Building a development environment with the shell as a keystone offers multiple benefits.
