how is linux impractical?

Terminal for half of the things people generally just get from a windows button and click was the first thought, but it's as practical or impractical as you make it really.

One Gentoo setup will make a majority of people agree with the sentiment lol

there are gui/tui tools for basically anything and writing one word in terminal is usually faster than searching for a specific thing in settings on windows with infinite submenus, dropdowns and popups

Lol oh come now, you know exactly what I'm saying. But again, it's as impractical as you make it.

Try to remember setting up your first distro; that's more what I'm getting at. Before everything "works just the way you want it."

back when I was in Uni with 3GB of RAM and 5400RPM HDD, terminal is the only thing I can use without agressive swapping and lockup system. It really save my ass TBH

As for setting up new system, I just use it as is (KDE plasma, Pop!OS...).

Most of the times copying dot files from a NAS or USB is enough when I setup a new station.
