ive installed everything so far through the package manager, albeit through the GUI just because it seemed intuitive coming from windows. ill probably learn some command line magic along the way. im enjoying how responsive everything is and the lack of worthless bullshit that was packaged with windows
Nothing wrong with using GUIs if that’s your preference, but I think some people gravitate towards it just because they’ve told themselves it’s “easier”, when I personally think installing things using the command line is “easier”—you don’t have to navigate a GUI, figure out where they moved something because they changed the interface, etc, you just know what line to type and it is just a one-liner. It’s personal preference, but just don’t let the terminal put you off just because there’s no pictures. For instance, installing software from a package manager is an extremely easy thing to do on the terminal. Especially if you’re on an old and slow computer, it’ll be noticeably faster too.
