I also work on embedded systems, and most host computer can use a GUI. No vi needed.

Is that because you need a mouse to program?

There is no host computer. These are headless devices running through multiple intermediate specialized muxes. You either ssh in and Busybox, or nothing.

China uses Linux almost exclusively now.
If you use Linux, you are helping the ChiComs and their releases of bioweapons to the world.
Linux users are traitors to America.

China eats food. If you eat food, you are endorsing what China did in Wuhan.
If you eat, you are a traitor.

My Linux admin duties - this being strictly a home network - are light and Konsole is sufficient to my cause. But thanks for the tip!
Started with RedHat 5.2 (? - am pretty sure), upgraded to RH 6.3 or 6.5, then eventually switched to Fedora 9, and now upgrade every couple of years.
Having to use Windows 10 at work, on my machine and two test systems, is a chore. The constant updates constantly break things. Funny, tho am supposedly running the same Windows 10 flavor (Enterprise) on all three systems, due to whatever reason - maybe minor variations in hardware (?) - the three handle the same automated test in entirely different ways. Frustrating is the polite way of putting it. Totally inefficient, however one puts it.
But Linux lets me update/upgrade on my schedule, and doesn't erase or reset my config files like Windows does. Linux seems to be a lot more civilized and mature than the kiddie stuff of Windows.
Twin monitors with multiple desktops are another think I love with Linux. Very useful for me to land a different project on each desktop. And with Compiz, can click-bump from one desktop to the next.
Anyway, am glad the world is big enough for Linux to survive. It's a spot of calm in the thrashing turbulence of technology evolution.
Cheers!
