    Ehh, i agree with that appstore thing and simple to install .exe, but Shelly can basically do most of those now, and that isn’t even the thing that hold back the transition. People still using windows because software dev doesn’t make it for linux. Software like POS, professional design suits, game dev tools, all mostly run on windows. Those people also use whatever the newer windows available, including win8 that most people hated. For gamers? None of those matter. People like me shifted to linux and did not find any difference in everyday use.

    Also i don’t really interact much with terminal, 1 or 2% of the whole time using it i think? It’s to both setup auto mount(none of the option in the setting works, they need to fix this shit) and also updating cachyos software, which is 99% automatic and 1% y and enter, to the point i feels like it isn’t even considered a terminal. In fact i avoid doing anything with terminal because i despise it, yet i can use linux without too much of an issue.

    Edit: i tried mint+cinnamon and currently using cachy+kde, both have the same experience, and i don’t need terminal to install anything.

      You can use Gnome Disks (gnome-disk-utility) to edit fstab via GUI. I’ve been using this for years and never had to manually edit fstab even though I can.

        You, my friend, is a lifesaver! Every search result point me to using terminal to edit it, and of course i edit it via word editor and access fstab using file explorer, i only use terminal to get the uuid. Imo it should be accessible via the setting, but gnome disk would do too.

          Glad to help! To be fair, a lot of tutorials do it on terminal because it’s consistent for every distro out there. However Gnome Disks is stupidly easy and that’s why I like it. I install my system, I install Gnome Disks, then switch to manual option and set automount for my other drives and that’s it.
