  The terminal isn’t really hard to use.

  I’ve been trying to learn it for 15 years. The only thing I’ve learned is that sudo stands for super user. Outside of that, I’ve learned nothing about how to use terminal other than copy/pasting other peoples commands.

    If you’ve been unable to learn some basic command line in 15 years perhaps computing is not your forte.

      Well, not linux. I do just fine on windows 7.

    For most cases, you need to use the package manager (apt is the standard for Debian-based) . You also need ‘grep’ to select a specific phrase sometimes.

    But that problem normally occur when you are using proprietary software. You’ll need to download packages (wget), add repository packages and run shell scripts for most proprietary software, and I think most people would use copy-paste in those scenarios.

    BTW sudo stands for substitute user.
