Still with this? Jeez.. that's like saying people probably won't adopt tv today because it's still black and white.
Linux cli is great and many of us use it because of that, but it's been at least 15 years that a regular user would not ever NEED to use it to do anything in linux
I'm gonna be honest, I had to use it last night, but that was because I was installing a non-Steam Windows game (Simcity 2013) and needed to use winetricks on the terminal to configure something before it would launch. If you are doing anything outside the predefined and preconfigured stuff, it can still get pretty hairy sometimes.
Would have been easily avoided by using Lutris for your non steam games
Just last night I needed to check what my network card model was and had to open the command line to do so on Ubuntu. Couldn't seem to find an equivalent to Windows' Device Manager.
