I used to (and sometimes still do) use the mouse cursor rather than my finger

I don't remember the last time I saw a big ol' loading bar, honestly. Maybe a small one in steam?

SSDs have made it a rarity for me.

Downloads. SSD doesn't help much there.

But then you get a download rate and watching the bar is pointless

I've had ones that don't show a rate, and it's maddening. Usually something like downloading an MMO through a launcher.

Brew and yum and apt do this in ascii.

EDIT I don’t know about Pacman. I don’t use arch.

You obviously don’t work in IT.

OS install. Even then, it's not much of a chance.

And windows just displays a %age. Linux of course depends on the distro

I literally used this method while stuck in the Ticketmaster queue for Taylor Swift tickets.
