Someone wake me up when there is a linux distro that hides the terminal.
Every successful OS hides the terminal and allows you to fix 99% of problems without having to copy+paste cryptic commands from a random website into a console.
Linux has so much promise but distro devs chronically keep leaning hard on the apache helicopter cockpit UI (the terminal) when the first thing mainstream OS devs do is turn the UI into a Honda Civic.
Yes, I have been on linux for 2 years now, and ready to go back to windows (again). If I had the time I'd learn how to make a distro just so I could make something that seasoned linux users would hate (and would actually be popular for once).
- bee_rider 2y agoIt is sort of funny that Linux has become around as user friendly as Windows. But, it is in the end a community project. You could try a Steam Deck, they have a customer-service orientation. Why would a more conventional distro want to appeal to non-technical users? Even technical users don’t often contribute code or good bug reports. But non-technical users can’t.
- Workaccount2 2y agoLinux is as user friendly as windows if all you do is watch youtube and check emails.
- bee_rider 2y agoHopefully Windows will get support for more technical features soon.
- tracker1 2y agoWild, I've been using Linux (Pop) for my personal desktop exclusively for a few years. The only terminal use for me has pretty much been related to software dev, and usually the integrated VS Code terminal. Most config options are in Settings and don't recall using the Terminal for much outside the above context, where I would do the same in Windows (WSL) or Mac.
