> This could have been a single command line command. ... that you could have copied and pasted. When it comes to technical support on Linux, few people seem to realize how much easier it is to provide support with a handful of shell commands. Describing how to do things in a GUI usually involves awkward descriptions, multiple screenshots, or a video demonstration. Actual support involves doing all of that in both directions (or having someone else log into your machine to do that for you). With a terminal, you're just copying and pasting text.
