Number 3 is completely understandable to me and it shows how out of touch the author is. You can't expect non power users who haven't seen a command line since MS-DOS c.1993 to be comfortable typing commands even if we know it's just copy-and-pasting a single line.
- graemep 17y agoThe context in which normal users need to use the command line, is roughly equivalent to when Windows users would need to edit the registry or do something equally abstruse. On my (admittedly fairly limited) experience of getting others to sue Linux, completely naive users are fine provided initial installation and configuration are done for them, but users who have learnt a lot about Windows (i.e. a lot that is specific to Windows) find the transition harder.
