    On the Linux distros that I’ve used, way too much setup is required via copying and pasting commands into the terminal. There were times when I completely replaced my path variables instead of appending to them, and that is way harder to do on Windows than Linux.

    I knew I made a huge mistake last year installing Linux on my parent’s computers when I asked them to copy and paste commands into the terminal over the phone.

      I’m not trying to doubt you, I’m just genuinely curious - what are you walking your parents through that they need to use the terminal?
