Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

When you make fun of something that really isn't an issue it just makes your side look worse. Windows has real problems, but installing shit ain't it.
My dad can install anything on windows with clicks, he can't do shit with a terminal.
I'm a power user and love GUIs. I'll use git desktop all day everyday, instead of typing shit in a command line. It's one button press vs typing paths and hoping you don't misspell shit.
I don't really get the whole command line fetish, there are no extra points in life for doing things the harder way.
Power users are just regular users with an ego.
GUI is like fast food, sure you can eat it and enjoy it, and you will live to see another day, but it's inferior in every way to everything else. The real problem is that people start acting like fast food is the default food and start looking at people who eat raw or cook their own food or pay for food at a restaurant as being full of themselves.
There are countless real advantages to CLI over GUI, but allowing people to use their computer effectively by fumbling around isn't one of them.
