      I agree. I mean I am biased as I’m a software dev, but at my company we use Windows so not too much terminal work, but I prefer it, particularly given that the web browser to find things is becoming more difficult with SEO shit.

      Who wouldn’t want to type one line to install something vs clicking loads of buttons and downloading a file, then opening the file, then following all the prompts etc.

      Even more so if you’re installing Linux then surely you’re more on the tech savvy side or at least e have a desire to be.
