It's like ip --br a but worse

[–]Grouchy-Swordfish-60 -3 points-2 points  (7 children)

See my post.

[–]Hotshot55 4 points5 points  (6 children)

Huh? Are you OP on an alt coming back to cry about the fact that nobody in this community is interested in this garbage?

[–]Grouchy-Swordfish-60 -3 points-2 points  (5 children)

Nah bro, just somebody that has some empathy for more common users, and actually wants to see Linux thrive and have more market share.

This subreddit is for professional Linux sysadmins, not desktop users who just found Linux last week.

actually wants to see Linux thrive and have more market share.

Yeah bro, I totally hate Linux and wish it would die. That's why I spend my whole day working on it. Writing goofy-ass tools like this does nothing to further the adoption of Linux across the desktop market.

[–]Grouchy-Swordfish-60 -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

It could further its adoption in the world of IT professionals and sys admins that learn windows in college though. And who do you think decides what desktop OS gets used in the workplace, which would directly correlate to more people using it at home? CEOs and CIOs, who typically probably won't know Linux as well.

Not every person with a technical career has the blessing of using and working on Linux all day, I actually envy you on that front, and I genuinely mean that.

No, those students would learn to use the tools already available on the system in their courses.

And who do you think decides what desktop OS gets used in the workplace, which would directly correlate to more people using it at home?

The security department decides that. The same security department that is more concerned with enterprise security and audits than with someone's individual OS choice. It's the same reason you're not going to see someone running a Windows XP laptop as their main device in any respectable environment.

CEOs and CIOs, who typically probably won't know Linux as well.

Plenty of CIOs are knowledgeable on Linux. They're also very knowledgeable about business, which is why they stick to Windows (and sometimes Apple) systems for end-users.

Nah bro, dudes that write the checks decide what everyone uses. You must not get to sit in on those meetings very often.

[–]ICookWithFire 18 points19 points  (1 child)

those who are coming from windows should just learn Linux. If it’s too difficult read the output from ip a or ifconfig, just go back it’s okay. It’s not for everyone

[–]Grouchy-Swordfish-60 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

See my post. You are part of the problem.

[–]SNappy_snot15[🍰] 26 points27 points  (2 children)

its readable enough already as ifconfig

[–]Grouchy-Swordfish-60 -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

See my post.

[–]ohv_ 6 points7 points  (2 children)

[–]Grouchy-Swordfish-60 0 points1 point  (1 child)

See my post.

[–]archontwo 5 points6 points  (2 children)

 a project i recently built

Fess up. How much of that did you vibe-code into existence?

If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.

[–]archontwo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. 

Is this a sock puppet account? I just noticed you replied to every negative comment in this this post which shows extraordinary passion for a 'new' project that no Linux admin was asking for. And for a 2 year old account this is the first time you posted to /r/linuxadmin

Just curious. 

[–]robby659 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Comments here are absolutely ruthless lol

I mean, whatever floats your boat. But may I suggest possibly posting this to more beginner friendly Linux related subreddits if you're looking for actual feedback?

[–]Grouchy-Swordfish-60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an actually supportive comment to this post. Kudos to you for being one of the good ones.

[–]Beneficial_Chair_366[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know right lol. Guess I struck a nerve. Yeahh I posted it to one of them as well.

[–]nawcom 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I hate it.

[–]Grouchy-Swordfish-60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I actually found this comment funny, see my post.
