    The reliance on the terminal holds Linux back.

    The second there’s a problem all the guides on how to get stuff configured or fix a problem start with… open Terminal. At that point your average user is asking for Windows.

    I say this as someone with over twenty years of experience with Linux. Users hate command line interfaces.

      I haven’t been required to use the terminal for anything in years.

      Honestly. I’ve been using Linux as my daily driver since the mid-2000’s (Warty Warthog?), and the only times the terminal gets opened these days is through pure choice. Maybe 10 years ago I would agree with you.
