    "I don’t want to have to write out some long String in terminal to install software. "

    I’m no expert, but isn’t it literally just apt get (name of software) to download and install through terminal?

        It is much easier, os long as that version is in main repo. If not, it can still be easy (run this one extra command), or you are gonna pull your hair out trying to figure out how to install some antique proprietary software on fedora, using an installing guide made for Ubuntu 16.04. :)

        Fortunately VMs are fast to set-up.

      I wouldn’t force the issue. Some people belong on Windows and I’d rather they don’t use Linux simply because I don’t want them complaining to developers that it doesn’t act like Windows. Linus Tech Tips already caused enough damage by doing exactly that.
