Haven't you heard 4% market is captured by Linux , it's the ONLY saviour os out there , windows users and macos users are idiots and all Lemmy Linux dudebros grandpa's are using Linux without single problem. Despite the fact that each Linux had it's own shell and there is no escape from terminal ( in 2024) if you even as try to use something more complicated. ;)

For almost every use case a normal user needs, there is a gui. You do not need the terminal.

Tell me where to find executables for programs installed without using Terminal , a very very clickable task in windows

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

/usr/bin

There, no clicking needed. 🙃

Did you ever use linux? There is a file explorer in most, if not all linux distributions.

Huh? if you install anything via a software manager which is included with most user-friendly distros like Ubuntu, popos, mint or zorin, it comes with a .desktop file which makes it discoverable by using the means of the desktop environment - usually something like the start menu. And that's not something new. That has been the case for years now.
