The first mainframe account I ever had was an nCube2 supercomputer. No timesharing or anything, the full power of a Unix system just waiting under your terminal session. Today I have the same CLI under the hood of my MBP because it runs on a Unix kernel. In terms of power tho, this laptop makes the supercomputer look like a toy. I wouldn’t call either one’s use case “very basic things.”
Intuitive for very basic things, but if you want to do anything outside the norm or some ease of use things from other desktops, goodluck.
