  • Yes you can but why would you not use the terminal. It's bloody handy.

    • Eh, you really can't. Linux without the terminal only enables about 5% of the functionality available the user.

      Linux geeks like to imagine a hypothetical "average user" who never needs to adjust settings or install anything beyond a web browser. But a person looking for that limited of functionality while also knowing how to install an operating system is not an average user.

      • I disagree. I've used KDE's discover thingy to install stuff basically through dnf on fedora. It's incredibly possible for the average user, who basically just browses the web and maybe writes documents.
