A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You don't need to use the terminal to install a program at all, at least on Debian with KDE Plasma. You can either download a .deb file and install it with the graphical deb installer, or you can open the software centre (Discover for KDE) and search for it.
I've also never had Linux break on me, unless I broke it myself after poking things I shouldn't poke.
Yes, when deb files exist, I go for that! There have been instances where I'm following a tutorial for whatever I'm looking to do, and it's always terminal commands. I grew up using DOS, so i get PTSD when I see the terminal 😂
As for breaking, i don't remeber the distro (a major one), but I'd have instances where after some time the ram use would just grow and grow until everything came to a halt. Even with 32gb of ram i was having this happen often enough that i had to stop. I do still think my desktop pc still has linux installed as a dual boot with windows, but I've been using a laptop exclusively for a long while.
I'll still continue to try. My computing needs aren't excessive and i lived with a chromebook for years as a daily driver before getting a windows laptop.
