> I mean why stop there, the fact that someone has to lift a finger might be a problem. Alexa, Siri and similar are literally meant to remove that effort, if you think about it. The usual OS that many gnu/linux distros compare to is usually Mac OS. As a user, you can configure most of the things that you would like to configure without opening a terminal, ever. Heck, when I was given a macbook from work and had to quickly share some music files with some relatives, I was able to set up the equivalent of a samba share 100% via gui, and it worked. Yeah if your target is the average user, non-technical (think of the average grandmother/grandfather) to very-little-technical (office worker that uses the computer but only as a tool to do their job), the fact that opening a terminal is necessary is a problem.
