    You have to learn a little for any task, so people saying that they don’t want to learn something is a bit weird.

    Linux really isn’t more complicated than windows. Actually, after 25 years of Linux desktop, looking at windows it’s frustrating complication after complication.

      I am not desinterested to learn.
      It just doesnt make sense to always have a need to enter the CLI for stuff regular users want to do.
      Let the power toys be under the hood, no problem with that. But the regular folks don’t even grasp the idea to find out how to change the IP of their regular windows PC for something they want.

      Linux is currently developed by tech enthusiasts for mostly tech enthusiasts. Who tells the (by the way awesome) maintainers to stop and think what they develop in that particular way?
      Even a group of maintainers might fall into the trap to develop something in such a way that it overwhelms the regular user.

      IMO what it needs is resiliency against those users and more aim to make it idiot proof (for them) and make it more an actual daily driver that first has a GUI for the most common tools and then the CLI if needed

      looking at windows it’s frustrating complication after complication.

      Tell that a Windows admin and that admin might say the same about you and your OS.
      In the end, everyones wants it their way.
