The command line has a higher learning curve, that much is true. But if you get over the hump so to speak, you can a lot (and I mean a LOT) of things with it, that most GUI-centric application would make impossible.
My biggest peeve on it, is having to learn so many different command lines. Like, I have no desire to learn PowerShell since I'm a Unix fanboy. One is enough, but I'd suggest knowing at least one.

Sure, you can do everything and more with a command line... If you can remember all of the commands
Unfortunaly, in Linux you HAVE to do everything yourself.
I'd much rather go through an installer that let's me customize everything I want to than do some sudo curl https://something.org/something/a.key > i_dont_even_remember - and then go through a couple of files using some weird text editor just to set some basic settings

Once again, learning curve. Some people want things done for them, and that's ok. Some people want the nuts and bolts. And that's ok too. Both come at a price, choose your poison.

The meaning of life is, and has always been, 42!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I've always thought Garfield was rather dull and stupid. And yet, every day I find myself clicking on your Garfield link and chuckling.
It's a sign of growing older. I've either matured, or become more immature.

I think it's in the eye of the beholder. A cuddly toy bear was definitely one of life's more meaningful aspects when I was young child.

After watching that, I feel like I need a bucket to puke in.

It is amazing his bike didn't brake.

Over rocks and between very close trees? If so you get a standing ovation from me. That's insane.

No, wide tracks, even trials riding isnt as mad as downhill mountain biking.
I was just saying, give me an engine in an off road bike and you can have hours of fun!

That would be a bucket array. This is a bucket list:

Nope. All kinds of nope. He came sooo close to some of those trees around 2:40. I wonder how many hospital visits per month this guy averages

My god, it looks like most of that stuff would kill you with one small mistake. Was that video realtime? Not sped up? Probably not. Craaaaazeeee.

I wondered the same thing.
But GoPros are quite wideangled cameras that make it look like it's faster.
Maybe someone with more knowledge on the subject can enlighten us.

Well, we know it isn't sped up. You can hear breathing and talking in some parts of the video which seem consistent. As someone that has done downhill bike races as a kid, you can quickly gain a large amount of speed. Given that nearly this entire course appears to be downhill, the slowing down to a light pace during some forest sections of the video, the sound of wind, and the speed that would be required for some of those jumps, I'm guessing it's real-time footage.
That's my analysis anyways
