The thing is, without a unified GUI it's impossible to get an answer to "how to X on Linux" that doesn't involve the CLI (and that'll work for everyone). Even the ones that do are often distro-dependent.

People can still get things done by searching for "how to X on using the GUI".

I mean the same goes for different distros or package managers.

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.
