    The design imperative to hide the command line as much as possible in a modular OS which fundamentally relies on it only makes the user more confused when they need to use it to fix something or improve their experience somehow, which they will have to do. The real solution is to expand and improve tools designed to teach CLI software, be that bro pages, better man pages (or maybe a decent GUI man), searchable hypertext documentation, and also consciously deciding to devote project resources to good documentation.
