I'm switching. I've been intimidated by the command lines but jfc these people are cartoonishly evil.
Mint was my first Linux distro away from Windows. Command line stuff is essentially optional if you're just using the computer for web browsing, gaming through Steam, basic desktop usage, etc. No regrets, fuck Microsoft.
I think I'll follow suit, thank you
I've enjoyed mint the last month or so. My previous dabbles with Linux were much more command line necessary than it is now. And on the rare occasion I need to, there's usually good info out there to read.
I'll say that I only touch command line when I want to on nobara (I hear bazzite is the same). In general the days of command line being necessary are over
It's clearly been way too long since I've looked into this
The world has changed a lot. Linux Usability has come a long way. It's not perfect, but it sure isn't as bad as it was for non-techies.
