    I’ll be honest, as a macos & Linux user, even macos, the (self proclaimed) Holy Grail of accessibility and user friendliness,required me to run a few commands to fix bugs (not in weird softwares, just stuff which stopped working through reboots in the OS itself).

    You can’t expect to use a computer without CLI, or what you get is windows (and even then, you might get around the CLI but you gonna need to do some cursed regedit at the first attempt of slight customization, or bug).

    The only exception to this is phones, and for good reason; you hardly can do shit in phones anyway, and if it bugs all you can do is wait for the devs to fix it for you

      Almost all maintenance tasks and fixes on windows come back to the command line. So I have no idea why people keep bringing it up about Linux.

        Because Windows hides its (ugly ass) terminal in shame so the user never has to see its putrid face.

        Linux encourages terminal use, including it as one of the base starting icons in most distros.

        That’s my guess, anyways.

        Or maybe decent mobile producers. New Pixels get 7 years of updates, Fairphone 5 gets 10.
