  There is a lot to unpack, but you know exactly what they meant. The operating system people refer to as Linux or GNU/Linux or whatever is not the same thing as Android; if, under the hood, it has an older version of the Linux kernel. There is no command line required on an android phone for one.

  Although, you are technically correct. The best kind.

    Generally not required on modern desktop distros either, unless you want to tinker or have poorly supported hardware. Package management, including kernel updates, binary drivers, etc. can all be done in the GUI.

    Then again, I spend most of my time in the terminal because I like it.

      Same. And I spend more time setting things up then using them.

        I’m sorry, absolutely off-topic question, but is your username ‘microwave’?
