      Heck yeah I would love to never use the terminal. The terminal is the biggest roadblock for me adopting Linux. I never, ever want to open it. If I have to open it, Linux has failed for me as a windows replacement.

      I want to try Linux again, and I have dipped my toes many times, but the terminal is the major block for me, a slightly above average pc user.

      The real question is “Why are people so scared of the terminal, when they’re perfectly aware of and comfortable with cmd on windows?”

          Good question. Should be. Stuff as seemingly simple as converting a couple dozen text documents to pdf requires it if you don’t want to sit around for an hour, clicking away. Many such examples.
