I see you with your CLIs. What are you doing?
I’m launching a Windows program through wine because I don’t know how the make the desktop shortcut do it, so I use the terminal.
Trying to get PulseAudio to behave, and trying to figure out how to roll back Bluez and Blueman.
I use nvim to take notes and write code stuff. Still transitioning over from vscodium and it’s a little hard but I’m getting used to it
Once you get used to it, you’re gonna love it and there’s no going back!

My best.
nvim + tmux + ncmpcpp
Low distraction coding environment.
rm -rf /
Twice a day, so the gaskets don’t dry out and leak.
hoping the wifi card doesn’t crash in the middle of my youtube videos again
For CLI specifically mostly managing my home lab, yt-dlp and updates
I use Blender CLI to render the 3D animations I make. Maybe, it’s just a placebo, but I feel renders are faster when I use CLI only, instead of the full GUI, when using low VRAM GPUs.
Sometimes I just do a quick lspci && lsblk on a blank terminal so I can have a draggable, resizeabled privacy screen for my notes or whatever I’m working on. It looks complicated which scares 95% of people away immediately.

$ emacssudo apt update
alias up=topgradesudo pkcon refresh sudo pkcon update(Either that or)
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgradesudo pacman -Syu
sudo apt upgrade
Someone told me you can do
apt upgrade --updateto do both in one go but I haven’t verified this.
sudo zypper dup --allow-vendor-change -y
No Sudo apt update. sudo dnf upgrade -y && sudo flatpak upgrade -y
Its always apt update.
This is my real answer lol. All I ever run on my chomebook is this and a web browser.
run htop and just occasionally switch to an editor with some syntax highlighting on random code and people will know youre a elite haxor.

At this point my laptop is just my away mission machine and a backup. I do just about all my computing on a desktop PC these days.
My x86 tablet exists almost entirely so I can have a running copy of FreeCAD in my wood shop.
Oh! Which tablet? And what interface are you using on it?
Trying to resize encrypted partitions, sweating bullets because I feel like I’ll fuckup and lose everything.
(Yes I am aware I should backup my data I’m simply a poor idiot lol)
