Re: [orca-list] Fwd: Re: [Support] autoinstall of talking arch

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

I beg to differ when it comes to knowledge of the shell being a
requirement for using Linux. The shell is indeed great for some, and I
personally keep a terminal running all the time, just in case I choose
to use it. On the other hand, graphical tools have certainly developed
to the point where people just don't have to use a terminal or a shell
at all unless they want to use it. Arch probably isn't for those people,
but distros like Ubuntu, openSUSE and Fedora fit the bill quite nicely
in that regard. I even have a client who is using Manjaro and never
called me for any type of support once the system was installed and
working, and this client was initially running Microsoft Windows on a
used computer that already had viruses on it. Sorry, but I cannot in
good conscience recommend either Microsoft Windows or MacOS to anyone at
all, not even my worst enemy, assuming I had one, not when there are
perfectly good desktop Linux distros for them to use. And just in case
anyone has any remaining douts about Linux being for everyone, let me
point out that one of the operating systems mentioned as an alternative,
ChromeOS, is actually Gentoo. Sure they hide all the finer points behind
a pretty good browser, but it is completely Gentoo underneath, complete
with Portage. Personally, I don't use Gentoo my own self, with the
exception of ChromeOS occasionally, as I found it to be nothing but
trouble to get up and running, but there you have it; Linux is indeed
for everyone. No matter your skill level or administrative knowledge,
there is indeed a Linux for you.
