You're wrong, as usual. I run Ubuntu and Debian and a couple of other
Linux distributions and I've not had to resort to "cryptic line commands"
to get any of them running at any point. Generally a Linux install is
simpler and quicker with many, many more apps included than an MS
install. Now, if you'd like to count all the time you spent hunting down
or buying and installing apps equivalent to what are already included in
Linux, you'll be ever further behind!
