      But… it is easy. And so is the package manager. You don’t have to use the command line if you don’t want to, it is just another option.

        No, I call any command-line interface that runs from an internal drive “DOS”. I do mean the term somewhat generically as a Disk Operating System.

      You got downvoted by the Linux fanboys, but it’s not wrong. Linux has a big issue with approachability… And one of the biggest reasons is that average Windows users think you need to be some sort of 1337 hackerman to even boot it, because it still relies on the terminal.

      For those who know it, it’s easier. But for those who don’t, it feels like needing to learn hieroglyphs just to boot your programs.

        I ran Linux Mint for close to a year and never used the terminal. It’s not 2000 anymore
