Aight time to try and learn Linux for the 10th time and see if someone without strong console knowledge can use one now.
I've been using it for a few months now and only rarely I used console and it was just to paste some commands for something. So yeah, I don't think that you really need to know howbto use console if you don't need to do anything that specifically needs it.
Rarely is still too much for me.
If I do regular joe stuff, I don't want to be required to go into the terminal.
I had to often look up how to do stuff on windows because of it's trash UX so it's an absolute W for me. But I can understand that terminal may look too scary/complicated to some ppl.
Oh Windows is certainly not exempt from the issue. Not at all.
Personally I don't have any issue with the terminal but sometimes I am totally not in the mood to research yet another time why or how to run anything.
Also I prefer Word way too much over Libre/OpenOffice.
Only if they had a word-like theme and translation to achieve what I want in a word-like behaviour it could tempt me to switch the tools.
Ye, seems fair. In my case I just couldn't bear with windows anymore and switched.
Maybe maybe for me.
For now I am content with Linux debian as my NAS/server OS and Windows as the user OS.
It is called onlyoffice
If you just want to browse the web and edit work documents you have nothing to fear.
If you just want a game and don't want to be too awfully picky about what you're playing you have nothing to fear
If you want to play anti-cheap games and host docker components you're going to have to do a little console here and there.
If you want to stream to YouTube and twitch, You're probably not going to have as much of a good time. You can still do it but there's work and compromises involved.
Streaming is practically plug-and-play, at least on my installs.
OBS background removal in Linux is bad.
In about half a dozen distros VFL does not work out of the box for OBS.
If you flat pack your OBS and don't do it exactly right with all the plugins at once, the plugin sandbox causes issues in OBS.
If you're running an OBS bot camera things get extra spicy.
In most cases high color support is not allowed.
If you're trying to do stream Deck stuff that can be an issue.
Don't get me wrong I'm glad it wasn't a big deal for you but for your average person coming in complaining that terminals are too much, they might be in for a less than stellar experience.
Cheers, I'll give it a go. Unfortunately I'll have to navigate my way through the Denuvo BS that Capcom loves shoving down our throats.
On the plus side I've been using the libreoffice suite and frankly speaking it's more or less comparable to what Windows offers for my needs. Their excel equivalent feels really jank though.
