To be fair, you can nuke your entire OS with a single command on Windows too.
Well I never used command line in 30 years of Windows.
It's pretty much a requirement for Linux that you copy and paste random commands you don't understand from strangers on the internet.
That's 30 years of using closed source software from strangers (Or do you have many good friends at Redmond WA USA ?) :-)
Maybe decades ago it was. Nowadays that's not a requirement as there's GUI applications for a lot more things than before. And as a Linux user I simply find it much more convenient and faster to share some commands with another person than making screen shots and creating a howto of a few pages or making a video. Also documentation has improved. For the average Linux user the Arch Linux wiki is a nice resource, even when not using Arch Linux.
Funnylie enough, if im not doing programmer/networking stuff, there are only 3 reasons to open a terminal
