You use the terminal because you like the UX experience.
I use the terminal because the best IDE I can install on my work server is vim7.4.*
We are not the same.
*VHDL and SV. I can't install python for TerosHDL
Nice and rare to see a fellow SV user. Did you come across to any relevant communities for digital design and verification, asic or fpga?
No, and I would love to find a resource to help me bend UVM to my will. Alas, I'm in a niche of a niche on a currently niche platform. I'm not hopeful for years. The subreddit for FPGA is all I got right now.
I would love some uvm content as well.
I use the terminal only to install something I need

Yes, I use PowerShell with garish colors. Yes, I have to Google every step. No,I don't understand the Microsoft docs.
To be fair, I used to work there, and not even Microsoft understands their docs.

Nice try, Bill.
People know what dropdown menus are called :O
Yeah, my mom would say "Where's all the stuff" to refer to buttons, drop-down menus, etc.
Yeah, found the lack of knowledge of what their name is shocking as well.
"Yknow the uh, the.. um. The selection thingy."
That's so true as a Linux user in front of non-techies.

omg is that hacking????!?!?!?!11
It ain't hacking unless I've got a ski mask on.
I've lost count of the amount of times my terminal has been referenced as being the matrix. Hasn't happened much since WFH though.
