Building a strong foundation in the command line is a crucial step in your journey to become a proficient Linux user. The command line interface (CLI) is the primary way to interact with a Linux system, allowing you to perform tasks and manipulate files and directories with precision. While this is true, the casual user of a Linux system (Not the same thing as what is being discussed in the article) can use a Linux system effectively without ever having to touch the CLI.

You don't have to "learn" Windows to use it. The same with Linux. The Ubuntu flavor is easy and foolproof. You click on an icon or a menu to use some software--Firefox, Chrome, etc. As you get accustomed to using it, you can delve deeper if you wish. Or not.
I've used Windows for years without knowing more that that. Same with Linux.

Well, now that it’s being reported that Linux is as weak on viruses and malware as Windows, why bother?

Once you get use to the power of command line you’ll never go back. I was a UNIX admin and coder from the beginning of the original ATT Unix. I love command line still. Even on my apple laptop I use command line many times a week.

Oh yeah. Unix and the command line and fantastic editors. So efficient.

I assume there is a monetary reason to go through the process of such a learning curve. Otherwise why waste so much time? What is the payback?

Given UNIX has been running since 1960s, and show absolutely no signs its going to stop being used.. I highly doubt that.
Linux “inspired by/Derivative” or whatever you care to call of Unix, has been around and running since 1991.
I think you’ll likely be dead before the last instance of Linux is shutdown.
To: ShadowAce
Use Linux immediately. Maybe takes three months to figure out alternative open source software.
To: devane617
What is the payback?Much better command and control of your data, and access to many, many professional design and analysis free software apps.
If you're an engineer, Linux is de rigueur. It's where all your data and tools live.

“can use a Linux system effectively without ever having to touch the CLI.”
There are many things that pop-up where you need the CLI.
I find the strangest problems like HP laptops that can’t
talk to my WiFi AP because of the HP chipset.
It is not that hard.
But I have a degree in computer science.

How long does it take?
Too long.
Get a Mac.
The new Mini’s are super cheap, and super fast. You can even run Linux on them too, but not the other way around.
