MODERATORS
I can relate to being intimidated by any instructions that mention the terminal. When I first started with Linux I would prefer doing stuff using a GUI over command line.
I started getting into hobbyist coding stuff, and fifteen years later I'm much more comfortable with the terminal.
Even so, I think trying to make Linux more palatable for the average person is going to be tough. It's very difficult to make something that's powerful and extensible while also being easy to use.
