[Trisquel-users] Re : Cognitive ease and free software

"Command-lining most of the things"? I cannot think of one single "newbie  
action" that *requires* "command-lining" on Trisquel's default system. Could  
you give an example?

That said, if you ask for help on the forum or on the IRC, there is a high  
probability you will be answered with command lines. It is just simpler to  
write "open a terminal and execute that command" instead of "click on this,  
then on that, then ...". And command lines are the same whatever the  
graphical desktop. Who helps the "newbie" does not necessarily use the same  
desktop as her (hence not the same button to clicks). Also, the graphical  
interfaces keep on changing. What used to be called X is now called Y. And  
they are localized, whereas command lines are the same whatever the language  
the system is setup to use.
