Right? I've been running Mint the past year, can count the amount of times I had to boot into windows on my fingers, and having to use the terminal to do things is like an occasional, once every couple months thing, usually to solve a problem I've created for myself.

I remember trying Linux in the early 2010s. When it looked like a modern OS, but behaved like it always had up to that point. That was misery.

also anyone who complains about the terminal in Linux is clearly not very computer competent in Windows, as I recall frequently using Command Prompt and PowerShell to get shit done. At least, they're not doing anything remotely complex if they've never encountered or had to use either.

He's either using a 15 year old copy of Ubuntu, or he dove straight into the deep end with Arch like a dumbass and nobody told him about the wiki.

Or using an atomic/immutable distro like Bazzite. If it's not flatpacked, you have to either distrobox or docker it. Something as simple as a Plex server does require terminal use.
