  • I don’t know what exactly you want to know actually. It’s a generic wording / term. I’m not talking about a specific user group or something like that. I’m just saying, “people” do not HAVE to use a commandline package manager, if the system is configured to use a GUI manager for the packages.

    In example SteamOS on the Steam Deck is configured in a way the user never need to use the terminal. There is the gaming mode, without a desktop and a click updates the system. And in desktop mode there is Discover pre-configured with Flathub for Flatpaks. Users don’t have to use the terminal to install new applications or update them. Just as an example. I think openSUSE also has some GUI for that and doesn’t Linux Mint have such a GUI too? Manjaro comes with their Pamac graphical tool.
