One simple command vs:

Go to your start menu

Search for program name

Click on it

Scroll down about half way

Click the

Enter

Click the

Click the in the popup

And if that's done in Gnome, does it help a KDE user, Xfce, Mate? I think not. And that's if the gui handles the problem at all.

Of course, the command comes with an explanation of what it does.

    One "simple" command that could do anything including killing their entire PC vs detailed instructions of something they can follow and understand, especially if you include pictures.

    If you want people in your community, treat them with respect.

    Trolls, who like to corrupt people's data, exist. A GUI procedure is almost always safer.

    Tell me how to gather this information from the GUI. Plasma for preference please.

    Not that I particularly want to get involved—I do also like inxi—but you can launch Info Center (kinfocenter) from krunner, the application menu, or under About this System in System Settings to get a good amount of this information and more.
