I disagree. Using a DE is more 'intuitive', but using CLI commands I way easier and effective, if you know the commands. A couple of scripts can run on cron schedules and you can just forget about it until it breaks (if it ever breaks).

For a dev/engineer/linux user, I agree. For the IT technician who probably mostly works with Windows fixing printer drivers, who every now and then has to go change the ad content on the kiosks, he probably curses “that damn Linux” every time. I’m betting for him the CLI is not easier.

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.
