“I use linux on my cloud server. Certain admin tasks are difficult.”

The current Linux Desktop GUI experience is not at all like this. It is not much different than using Windows 7. Most average users will never even need the Comandline Terminal. It is all point and click, Drag and Drop.

I recently bought an old Dell Latitude to build as a cheap sitting out in the shop laptop to run Linux on.

Probably it’s just the learning curve but in order to load a Brave browser onto Mint, I had to cut and paste a script into command line in order to install it.

I like Linux but apparently I must be doing something wrong based upon your comment.
