I never claimed it wasn't user error. This was almost 15 years ago and I was just a dumb impatient kid messing around with CentOS.
Might want to try again if you haven't updated your opinion for 15 years. Updating is so much easier and faster on Linux than windows nowadays. You don't really need the terminal unless you want to on the easier distros. Everytime I see that Windows update screen at work I remember one of the main reasons I abandoned it at home. The software centers make life so much easier than windows. The software updates on its own so you don't click on a program and then have to update it. Life, imo, is just better with Linux.
