Is your point meant to be that these people who already have trouble learning GUIs would somehow have an easier time intuiting command line?
If that's correct, that's an absolutely BS argument
No, my point is that they're lost causes and they're untrainable.
Ah... I still don't get how that's meant to refute the previous person's point that elitism and the "git gud" attitude around Linux contributes to it's inability to become mainstream.
If anything your reply only reinforces their point, because you seem to be suggesting we throw anybody who struggles to learn it to the curb.
