    You forgot the part where you have to look up what to write in the terminal whenever you want to do something, but I forgive you, it’s easy to forget something you need to do daily.

      You don’t have to use a terminal if you don’t want to. I choose to because it’s more convenient for me.

      I literally click one button and it starts the entire automated update process. The only interruption is asking for a password

      First off, you really don’t need the terminal if you choose to avoid it. You can get by just fine with a GUI package manager included in the “user-friendly” Linux distros; which is essentially a graphical app store that handles all installs, uninstalls, updates & system updates for you with a point and click.

      Second :
      Tab key, Auto completion, command cycling, command highlighting, man pages, TLDR pages, and so on.
      There’s no; absolutely 0, zippo, nada; reason you should, need, or want to remember individual commands or how to use them when the previously mentioned exist.

      On the other hand, it takes only four letters and hitting enter for me to update everything installed on my pc so not that hard to memorize a few commands.

      If you have to do that to install anything, it’s either always your package manager or something that can be copy-pasted from the included installation guide.

      You don’t even need the terminal in most cases. You have GUIs. Simple ones.

      I’d rather have to type a line than struggle with installing 10 pieces of unnecessary bloatware individually
