    Why do people need to learn CLI to watch youtube and write emails? That’s all the average computer user does.

      obviously you don’t have to, i just recommend, aggressively perhaps, that anybody using linux, should learn the CLI, because it’s highly advantageous.

        Nope, it’s gatekeeping. I installed Ubuntu on my partner’s machine instead of paying for windows, because he only uses webapps. Learning CLI isn’t required for browsing the web, and trying to force it only makes people think it’s useless for basic shit.
