Is Linux easy to use?

@Kresimir

You are usually more comfortable doing things as you’ve done them before, even if that is not the most efficient way to do them.

I don’t really think that is fair. I have spent a significant portion of my life working from a CLI. I also learned that way. There are still things that I find are more efficient to be done with a mouse/GUI.

I agree with @keybreak that different types of people are wired differently. It may be more efficient for you to work from the terminal 100% of the time but that doesn’t inherently mean it is true for everyone.

Personally, I find some things more efficient from the terminal and others more efficient with a GUI.

And yet, all of the early home computers were terminal-based. In my view, “beginning” is a mind-set, not an ability.

At the same time, in those days, a much smaller portion of the population was using a computer. I remember in the late 80s, early 90s when people were losing their jobs because they were unable to adapt to using a computer. Once Windows/MacOS became prevalent this became much less common.
