Wow. I’ll definitely avoid Linux now. I had heard Linux was supposed to be easy to use now.
All this terminal stuff is absolutely not necessary for an average user; graphical applications are often more than enough
@ian @asciiandarch If all you do is web browsing, document processing and graphical games you may never ever touch the terminal ;)
Makes as much sense as saying “I’ll definitely avoid Windows now. I had heard that Windows was supposed to be easy to use”, since most of this also applies to WSL2.
Maybe the guide is not intended for some beginners after all?
I suppose. If your criticism is that it could have been more specific as to what you are a supposed “beginner” in, then I agree.
It is not as complicated as it looks! As a long time windows user I’m in the process of getting used to the command line and I love the simplicity and direct way of doing things. For some tasks and small programs it is amazing. Grep for example is something amazing that you couldn’t do in a windows type UI.
For other stuff like visualizing a directory tree you can always use a mouse interface. You’re rarely forced to use the terminal.
