You know you're an old school Linux user when... you still try to use ifconfig and get a "command not found" error, followed by a moment of silent grief 🤬

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Is it even "old school"? The switch was pretty recent.
I still don't understand why the forced switch though. ifconfig was simpler and clearer. I don't understand why we can't have both available though. It isn't as if either is particularly huge... (Obviously excluding embedded setups like Busybox where every kilobyte counts potentially.)
As others have said, the syntaxes for ip are just confusing.
