Most things I do in command line I am not aware of or would want to do in a GUI on windows tbh. Recursive search for any files that contain a specific string? How do you do that on windows without.
Most people just want Facebook and pornhub, Linux has everything you need.
Open explorer. Type string in the search box.
(Ok it's kind of a shitty search feature but that's besides the point.)
Sure, but don't confuse covering 90% of what people do with covering 90% of people. It's like electric car range or browser website compatibility. It might have enough range for 99% of my journeys of work on 99% of websites but that final 1% matters! You can't just ignore it.
My bike is fine for 99% of trips. For the other 1% I can get a train
As long as you're going somewhere that has trains...
I mean you could say the same thing for ICE/EVs, neither are taking you somewhere that doesn't have roads.
If you did you'd sound like a bit of a tit seeing as roads are just about everywhere in the world. The number of places accessible by train and not road is a rounding error on a rounding error.
More a combination of train/bike. Almost everywhere I cycle to can't be driven to.
