That small tasks like these are easy to call up and get done through right-click context menu options, so I can concentrate my effort on bigger tasks. You can say it's a sign of laziness, or whatever, but I have come to work in that way.
This is quite time saving instead of having to open the prompt, cd to that folder, and type out a long commandline, just to achieve the same result. But for random, non-automated processes, I like to have graphical programs to do operations quickly.įor example, if I want the sha-256 hashes of all files in a folder and its subfolders, I guess it's fine to run a script to run sha256hash or whatever the linux utility for doing that is called.īut if I am working on something, shifting from folder to folder, and come to a point where I suddenly need to get a sha-256 hash for a file, in Windows, I can just right click on the file, and choose "CRC SHA" from the context-menu, which is an option added when one installs the compression archiving utility 7zip. I am okay about learning about using the command line interface for some things, as I already like to automate many things with batch-files in Windows. I have a general question about Linux GUIs: I have just installed Linux Mint CInnamon on a USB, and am trying to explorer and decide if I can switch to this from Windows at some point.
