Tiling window managers, and the removal of meaningless decorations, are signs of the changing times

What universe does the author live in? Almost no one is using a tiling window manager on desktop operating systems.

Terminals are a dying niche. They are still going to be needed by those programming or doing extreme power user stuff but most people do not touch a terminal. More so most people who can understand and work with a terminal choose not to when there is an option. Linux needs to leave terminals behind. Not completely but enough that most if not all things in Linux can be done by a reasonable GUI. Both Mac and Windows have this functionality. Why Linux hasn’t gotten to this point is boggling. They’ve been trying for a decade or more and there are still things you can’t do in very common distros without the terminal.
