    I assume Linux involves typing commands somewhere

    It doesn’t, it’s akin to command prompt/poweshell on Windows albeit less verbose or Terminal in Mac. It’s just something you can do but if you don’t use it on Windows then you aren’t going to need it on Linux

    I would probably prefer to use my phone instead of a computer with a totally new os

    Android/Chrome OS are Linux, I think this is the easiest way to show people how little “command typing” is needed

    just wanted to share what the reputation of Linux is among non tech people

    Tech people use that reputation as well, a bunch of people think it makes them smarter but Linux is better for non tech people than Windows because it has a natural defense against scammers/viruses.

    I switched to it because Windows was too complicated and I couldn’t get anything to run well <- Linux has less overhead but that wasn’t my issue
