    What’s wrong with the Terminal? It’s all I used on Mac. I hate the windows command prompt.

    Minecraft Java runs awesome on Linux. The only Minecraft version that matters.

      Terminal or any command line is not user friendly.

      It may be poweruser friendly, but that is only a sliver of users.

        The rest of the users can use an iPad or Chrome OS. Windows isn’t this magical thing that makes everything work.

      I honestly think terminal simplifies a lot of things. It’s quick to pick up on the most common commands and ends up being way faster and easier than installing an executable. Every time I find out something isn’t available on Homebrew, I just GAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

        I agree. I mean I am biased as I’m a software dev, but at my company we use Windows so not too much terminal work, but I prefer it, particularly given that the web browser to find things is becoming more difficult with SEO shit.

        Who wouldn’t want to type one line to install something vs clicking loads of buttons and downloading a file, then opening the file, then following all the prompts etc.

        Even more so if you’re installing Linux then surely you’re more on the tech savvy side or at least e have a desire to be.
