    Yeah the question is never going to be

    How to do with GUI?

    It’s rather going to be

    why on earth would I do that when I can just click some buttons on windows?

    or

    Can’t we just use settings menu?

      Yeah showing people how the terminal works is great for power users, but it does nothing for the average user, and kinda is part of the reason so many people think that all linux is is the terminal

      Really as much as the more tech savvy might not like it, if we want to see higher adoption of linux we need to spread awareness of just how much easier it is to do things in the Linux GUI than it is in Windows

      Like for instance, I can install almost whatever I would ever want with a click of a button without opening a browser, meanwhile I’ve never managed to get the Microsoft store to actually install things that I paid real money for
