If that is the case today then that indeed is a huge leap forward. The last time I tried in earnest to daily drive a Linux distro was a couple years ago and I was running terminal commands almost immediately for basic desktop setup items like network settings, setting up multiple displays, or installing/configuring applications.
I am running Linux daily for the last 10 years, and I prefer doing most of the stuff via terminal and editing config files. But at least in KDE (I’m most familiar with it), there is a menu for everything, if you prefer that. Including but not limited to what you mentioned.
I’ll have to check it out. I’m not scared of some terminal myself, but it’s something I always question when people say “oh you don’t need terminal for everyday things”, because my experience has always been the opposite. Thanks for the reply!
It mostly depends on what your everyday things I suppose. For one guy from this comment section everyday thing is to change numerical value of the second order mouse acceleration, which KDE GUI doesn’t support out of the box.
For changing screen resolutions, network setup, for setting up audio and stuff, there is a gui, a set of console commands, and a set of config files, and you use whatever is most convenient to you.
