Simple, go into your apps and look for the one marked terminal. Open that then do all the stuff I just said.

In my opinion some tasks are better from the terminal some tasks are better from the GUI

If you figure out how to do something in the terminal, you've got an 80% chance of that technique still working in a decade. If you learn how to do it in the GUI, your chances in a decade are more like 10%.

Agreed. I tried to avoid using virt-manager for my vm’s.. I get that it is more powerful from terminal, but man is it a lot of information to learn how to communicate.

Honestly, if you:

  • don't care about data getting collected on an os you paid for
  • don't care about getting ads on an os you paid for
  • don't care about performance and have a fast computer
  • (*) can't bother re-leaning how to do some things
  • (*) can't bother facing and debugging some problems that you might encounter
  • (*) don't care about being able to do things faster, at the cost of knowing exactly where to find things the moment you start using the system
  • don't care about being able to customize any part of the system however you want

then you might want to stay on Windows.

(*) this depends on which distribution you choose. some are very similar to windows and beginner friendly.
