        This is Linux, what did you expect?

          This is exactly what I expected and that isn’t a good thing to increase market share. The answer to how often the average end user opens a terminal is “no”.

            … and that is why the average user stays an average user.

            that’s arguable, if there is a “market share” increase but users are not actually empowered nor use solutions that improve the situation for us all, e.g privacy, then what is even the point of such an increase?

            I’m not saying everybody installing Linux for the first time should rely on the command line but IMHO being afraid or averse to it is not actually helpful for a deeper understanding and thus improving the situation.

    Would you mind clarifying why? I use File Centipede and it’s been working perfect for now.

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.
