Although its just another OS, linux does have a major learning curve for the common GUI enjoyer like me.

When you all were first learning linux, did you have a specific resource you learned from? Was it more like doing projects and learning on the way through forums?

I'm special or at least my mommy says so. UwU

All jokes aside. Literally couldn't change an icon on W10 so I fully swapped to Linux cold turkey. I am extremely particular about how I want anything in my life so it just happened. I actually find GUIs confusing and time consuming. I input text in one place and it all works. Me likey. :3

That's an interesting way of looking at it. It makes a lot of sense.

Bacially, it's excactly lke that. Every configuration is done through plain text files. Whether there is a GUI to control that or not, that's a completely different issue. But, yes, even if there isn't a GUI for it, you can manually edit the correspodning text files and get the desired result.
