    This is not true. People repeat it all the time but it not true at all.

    (EDIT: I think the reason why people think this is because it is FAR easier to support someone by simply telling them a command. They can copy paste. Describing a GUI sucks horribly, and is very inefficient. Windows is like this too. Any support will tell you get out powershell.)

    Windows is far more difficutlt even in this regard because now you have essentially two control panels.

    Also discovery of what you want to do is harder in windows.

    And the kicker is if your windows is broken and you need to fix it, guess what, it’s command line for you.

    Not to mention the fact that windows is basically unchangeable now.

    You want a menu at the top? Get out regedit or download a patch or use powershell.

    While I have a GUI to simple click and edit my desktop, choose from several launchers and I can put them where ever I want. Even choose to have none at all.

    So can you name one thing I would need a command line for instead of a GUI in Linux?
