IMO we should just have settings menus alongside commands for most things any normal user might have to encounter, since that’s just a more user-friendly interface in terms of preventing accidental bad command execution and also just letting people find things on their own without having to look up a command every time if they don’t want to learn a short book’s worth of terminal commands.

THIS. As a lifelong Windows user I'd rather deal with layers of shitty GUI, than having to memorise terminal commands and always pay attention not to mistype them lest I fuck my system up.

I can't switch to Linux yet due to lack of support from my essential programs, but even if it wasn't for those, I'd still be annoyed if I had to use a terminal to change settings in my system.
