I've always felt that installing stuff is a lot easier on Ubuntu than windows. It's just apt install and apt remove .

😂 Except that you have to know exactly what is, character for character, and usually includes some long string of numbers and letters where 1 character is wrong and you have to retype the whole damn thing. This is the opposite of easy.

Curious what distro you installed that had that issue.

Fedora/Gnome

If you aren't willing (and most aren't) to learn enough to be comfortable with the terminal, it can be very easy break something when you are forced to interact with the terminal.

Yes and the problem is you're ALWAYS sent into the terminal for absolutely any kind of debugging.
