yeah. idk where you keep seeing this “microsoft bad” thing

*points at this thread*

I also gave you a bunch of examples already. Just visit r/Windows or r/Windows11 and you'll get an eye full.

if you don’t use one of the distros that come preinstalled with a bunch of ui apps that do stuff that used to require a terminal, sure.

That's just completely wrong. You can't set a secondary drive to auto-mount on boot without CLI, fixing a failing BT device connection requires CLI, if an AppImage fails to launch due to AppArmor, you need the CLI to fix it, can't prevent the OS from switching a BT headset to the "hands free" mode without CLI, etc., etc., etc.

EDIT: some distros maybe allow changing this stuff through the GUI - I went through three, all with KDE, so maybe that's why I needed CLI, but that's also kind of the point - unless you really spend time to learn about the particular distribution, you never know what you're going to get. Which, to the new users who will not want to spend time to doctorise themselves on the subject, means that it's an added difficulty layer.

if you get orange juice shoved down your throat, you probably won’t like it, even if you generally like orange juice.

If you're talking about the nutritional value of different juices, you wouldn't say "orange juice is shit, has zero nutritional value" just because you don't lie it, would you?
