XTerm: It's Better Than You Thought

Good answer! (but I prefer typing language with a keyboard, instead of saying it out loud, as I'm not a native English speaker and it feels very unnatural to me).

Yet, is it possible to use siri or alexa for all your computing needs? Can you copy files around, convert a few images from tiff to jpg, download, compile and set up a nginx web server, hack a bit the code of the server and recompile, etc.? Because I can do all of that from the comfort of my "obsolete" command line.

I would love the option of being able to tell my computer to do things like this some day.

But you already have this option, it's called "xterm + bash"

By speaking, not typing.

I use my terminal and shell all day. :P
