I'm on ArchLinux, btw, and even there, I don't need to type commands all the time, only those needed to program something. GNOME, with its Adwaita Dark theme since 2014 or before, is pretty entry-level friendly, and with ArchLinux, you get always latest stable software ;-)

P.S. with Steam Play you can play pretty much everything that runs DX11 these days, including Townscaper, Journey, Quake Champions and many others, and if you're OK with Nvidia blob driver on Windows, you can use the blob driver on Linux too: it works well (but I prefer AMD mesa integration, which works even better).

Thank you for taking the time to read this post and I really appreciate your feedback! 😄

Surely, you can easily do most of the things without ever coming across these commands at all. But I wanted this guide to be more developer focused. And as a developer, you can't achieve that same productivity in your workflow without at least some basic commands.

then you missed echo, cat, pipe operator |, environment variables DEBUG=true, and dare I say sed too, but I guess a follow up might come sooner or later 😉
