    I’ve been using it for a few months now and only rarely I used console and it was just to paste some commands for something. So yeah, I don’t think that you really need to know howbto use console if you don’t need to do anything that specifically needs it.

      Rarely is still too much for me.
      If I do regular joe stuff, I don’t want to be required to go into the terminal.

        You shouldn’t have to.

        I live near exclusively in the console because it’s my work and I love it, it’s WAY more efficient than the GUI, but last time I actually NEEDED the console? I can’t remember, honestly.

        Also are you trying to say you never needed to figure something out on windows? Granted, I don’t read much about it because fuck Windows, but I remember windows Registry headaches, is that still a thing? Just copy paste these base64 codes in the registry in these UUID keys, which literally would be impossible to learn, and it will fix it, super easy!

          At least not for the regular joe stuff I do.
          Obviously I tinker with my install and am not shy about reverting to a backup if I know it will be highly intrusive.
          For the not so regular joe stuff close to the pro-sumer region you probably will have to research just about anything if you want to achieve something.

        I had to often look up how to do stuff on windows because of it’s trash UX so it’s an absolute W for me. But I can understand that terminal may look too scary/complicated to some ppl.

          Oh Windows is certainly not exempt from the issue. Not at all.

          Personally I don’t have any issue with the terminal but sometimes I am totally not in the mood to research yet another time why or how to run anything.
          Also I prefer Word way too much over Libre/OpenOffice.
          Only if they had a word-like theme and translation to achieve what I want in a word-like behaviour it could tempt me to switch the tools.
