I hope you can sleep this night not worrying about the "Terminal" monster below your bed.

  When I started programming, the computer didn't have a GUI, so I'm fairly comfortable with Terminal. I also hear, year after year, how Linux is going to finally reach out of nerddom, and it always fails to do that, and it always will if the community keeps this mindset "you don't need to be scared of a little terminal, you will LEARN more about your computer". Well, only us geeks want to learn more about our computers, others just want to do stuff, and they are right, that's why iPads are everywhere. The old saying is still going strong: "Linux is only free is your time is worth nothing"

    I disagree. I recently installed Linux Mint 16 (with Cinnamon as the DE) on my laptop and the experience was basically hiccup free: - Install was smooth (since I was installing on a separate drive, no fiddling with manual partitioning etc.) - Everything that a typical user wants worked post install without any extra steps - Music/Videos/Wifi connectivity/Internet/Hibernate/Suspend etc. all worked I didn't have to launch the terminal for any of the above.
