for the average joe using the terminal is too hard
The average Joe can certainly find it difficult to justify spending the time learning the terminal… but actually learning how to use the terminal is easy (and I’m tired of everyone pretending it’s not). If we tech literate people can put aside our low expectations then maybe we’ll find it’s easier to teach that expected.
Then we can consider something like downloading apps by visiting websites (perhaps after dodging malware links from adverts in modern search engines) a solved problem: don’t do that.
This is something which aught to be taught in school as part of using a computer but users being tech literate probably goes against tech corporates that have their claws in education.
