    Linux requires you to venture into the command line

    No it doesn’t. I choose to use the command line because it’s more efficient which is entirely different.

      Totally agree with this. The more you understand the terminal, the more you know how fast and efficient command line is (not for all activity, but many of them are easily done through command line) rather than through UI. But it takes time to understand, not in insant.

      I agree. If anyone looks at windows support you will find the command line as well. It is much easier to copy paste a specific command than to try and diagram a series of paths and clicks to get something done. Neither OS requires it, but support is much easier when you do.

        Double agreed. The amount of time I spent in a command prompt on Windows this week, you’d think I was working on a headless Linux server. XP

      fully agreed. shure a barebones install of just the distro and no DE needs command line but once you have the DE you in theory never need it again. but i still prefer Entering a command. faster and more efficient instead of navigating 1000 menus

      I can’t remember the last time I had to use the command line to do something that wasn’t me writing/publishing code or managing a server. It may have been years.
