Yeah I keep seeing people mention having to use the terminal to install software, and I wonder what distro they’re using and what software they’re trying to install.
Most distros use flatpak, so when opening GNOME Software/Discover you can install Discord, Spotify, Web browsers, text editors, Steam, etc all through it. And even Ubuntu which doesn’t use flatpak by default, all of those apps are in its Snap store as well. Hell, Ubuntu even has software drivers through a GUI in one central place which is very nice.
I’m on Fedora Kinoite right now which really encourages you to use Flatpaks, and the only software I’ve installed through the CLI are dev tools which would be disingenuous to say in this situation stops casual Windows users since they are very unlikely to need Rust, Neovim, various C/C++ libs, etc…
