No, I’m not talking about those half-baked frontends for GDB, that at best only half exposes stuff, and at worst gives you a little tab to type your GDB commands into.

No, I don’t care about 0.0000001% lost performance.

No, I don’t care about macros.

No, I don’t want to spend weeks to learn GDB inside-out, so I don’t have to search online for 15-30 minutes on an AI infested internet every time I want to use it, for each feature I’m using it for that day.

No, I don’t want to hear your anecdote about how much you use it and how fast can it be once you type 10000 wpm.

No, I don’t want to gatekeep Linux from “normies”, by making it as user-unfriendly as possible, so I can keep the Linux community a frat club for slur saying techbros.

    There’s nothing wrong with wanting a GUI front end, but the ignorance on display here is embarassing.

    Weeks? Just type ‘help’ and you’ll get the instructions in under a millisecond. No AI slop. There aren’t even that many commands to learn lmao.

    Pro tip: type ‘apropos <query>’ to search for appropriate help pages when you don’t remember the command.

    Do better.
