From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes you should. It's part of what makes Linux Linux.
it's just an os, you're not better just bc you memorized a bunch of terminal commands and willingly subjected yourself to a poorer user experience
if you don't give a fuck about user freedom and just want to use a unix os, then fuck off to any bsd out there and stfu
I mean - IOS exists for you friend. It's not a superiority thing, it's that you're trying to use the wrong OS. Back to the walled garden. It's safe there.
And if you want to whine about needing to type and use a CLI then you can fuck right off back to IOS.
