I have used Arch for >13 years (btw) and use the terminal every single session. I also work with Linux servers daily, so I tried the other families with DEs (Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL/CentOS/AlmaLinux/Fedora).

I’m comfortable (and prefer) doing everything with CLI tools. For me, it’s a bit difficult to convert my Windows friends, as they all see me as some kind of hackerman.

What’s the landscape like nowadays, in terms of terminal requirements?

Bonus question: Which distribution is the most user-friendly while still updated packages? Does anything provide a similar experience to Arch’s amazing AUR?

    GUI and shortcuts change everything

    CLI rarely does and the only change is the name of a command

      Yep. If there is a thing that requires a cli-command, make a shortcut. Windows doesn’t work different, except there it goes over a bunch of registry keys first.
