“You Don’t Need Terminal Knowledge to Use Linux

Finally, there is a misconception that Linux users must know terminal commands to use the system. That may have been true many years ago, but modern Linux distributions have moved far beyond that limitation. Millions of Linux users install software through app stores, manage devices through setting panels, update systems automatically, and mount drives with file managers — all without learning a single command. You do not need the terminal unless their problem goes beyond what the graphical environment can handle.”

For that statement alone I thank you very very much for this article Ace!!! That Myth needs to be dispelled so more can go give it a shot!

Most Windows user can go for a long time or forever never using CMD.

Linux you will have to use Terminal at some point, even if you end up copy and pasting whatever command you needed.
