Bullshit.
Tell me how to turn off the print monitor in Mint? (Guess what, it requires a command line, in the 21st century!)
How to get a Logitech wireless mouse to work? (in windows, they just work, no software required, since Win95).
The average person has no idea how to do this stuff.
It the above statement were true, why do they have to write an article trying to convince people?
You'll always get downvotes for this from Linux apologists who didn't have the exact problems you're describing, but you're 100% right. There are loads of things you might reasonably want to do in Linux that require a command line, or just don't work well.
Hello, yes, I'd like to use my fingerprint sensor please.
