Honestly if you're not planning on programming, why should you need to know how to use the terminal?
I get that it is incredibly useful, but I don't think it should be a requirement for anyone just trying to use their PC. I think the prevalence of Linux terminal workflows is just a reflection of the user base: mostly coders.
Linux community: we need mass adoption more users from non technical backgrounds. Linux is better for the user. Also Linux community: what do you mean you don't know how to open the terminal and enter these 15 suspicious commands. Here is a guide and don't ask stupid questions. RTFM
if you just use your pc then you dont have to use the terminal, unless you do some super basic distro like minimal arch or something
