    They dont need to know any commands.

    Everything in Linux is point and click. There’s an app store where you’ll find everything you’ll need. You will not need to open the terminal at all. All drivers will get installed through the OS.

    Only things which do not work are the keyboard software and stuff to map macros to your keys and/or mouse buttons ans tweak the colours. Like the Razor software.

    Distros like Ubuntu, popos, Linux mint are incredibly beginner friendly. There are, without a doubt, others.

    They didn’t need to know any cmd/powershell commands using windows and they definitely don’t need to know how to use a Linux terminal to browse/mail/install software on Linux.

      Depends on the distro but you are largely right. You can easily use Linux Mint or Ubuntu without being familiar with the cli.

        Even Endeavour comes with Discover installed, and stuff like Octopi exists and is pretty bug free these days.

      I mean, it’s good to know the apt commands, because sometimes app stores can break.
