Fortunately command line for me has got a special advantage. When booted into Arch Linux I could maintain my Ubuntu install or vice versa via systemd-nspawn. While it obviously is possible to use GUIs, I usually even don't use systemd-nspawns boot option. The most simple way, direct command line access without booting and without thinking about GUIs, I could build packages for e.g. claws-mail from git directly for Arch Linux and Ubuntu. [root@archlinux rocketmouse]# grep -i pretty /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Arch Linux" [root@archlinux rocketmouse]# systemd-nspawn -qD /mnt/moonstudio [root@moonstudio ~]# grep -i pretty /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS" [root@moonstudio ~]# logout [root@archlinux rocketmouse]# grep -i pretty /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Arch Linux" After a while I became that used to command line, that I don't want to use synaptic anymore. Most of the times I also don't use file managers. I anyway only mount devices by command line. The only serious disadvantage I experience is wearout of my keyboard. To get a replacement for a mouse or keyboard that is a pleasure to use, is very hard for me. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
