    Or you want to not have to use a terminal to do some basic thing that Windows provides an ugly but useful GUI for. It's kinda funny that Linux is such a widely used OS, but only for server stuff, which is largely proprietary, company-specific software that the average person wouldn't use.

      yeah the lack of guis really needs to be handled before it becomes mainstream. ive been watching it earnest mostly cause i hate microsoft and some of the stuff kde is doing is looking pretty good. hopefully theyll be able to skin some stuff up in time

      You have to be pretty picky to actually end up needing a terminal on Ubuntu these days.

      But all the tech support articles you'll find online will always tell you to use a terminal of course. Because telling someone to run 'sudo apt install sl && sl -lF' or whatever is easier than uploading twenty screenshots of menus.
