My favorite one is
"Oh linux is easy these days, you don't have to even open the terminal"
"Haha noob why did you install the flatpak version, never do that, always install everything as .debs through terminal"
You can just click on debs in your file manager, no different from an exe in that aspect.. but sure, i guess you could run an exe via cmd if you really wanted to
Haha oh yes, it's just whenever I search for some solutions it feels like I end up finding at least one reply with the instructions to use terminal only for installing
As someone who isn't scared of the terminal, I don't get the fear really. What's the difference from opening a store app or web browser and searching for an application and asking your package manager to search for an application? Either way, you just type the name and it gives you results. I guess the package manager you at least know it's from a mostly trusted source (usually, unless you do something to allow exceptions), while a web search isn't always.
Why you find terminal instructions online is because it works for every system though. It doesn't matter what distro you have, or what packages; they all have a terminal and the same base. This isn't true for package manager instructions though, because there are several, and different distros provide different ones.
I'd imagine the fear is just because a lot of people are not tech savvy at all and tend to be scared of new things, "googling" and pushing colorful buttons is something most people are used to, but writing phrases you don't fully understand into a mysterious text box is not. Though personally I have no fear towards terminal either, so maybe I'm wrong with that analysis
