disagree. it depends heavily on what the user is doing.

that's like saying if you daily drive windows it's a near certainty you'll have to edit the registry or use powershell/cmd.

It's useful if you know what you're doing but it isn't required anymore at all for most people. Most people just use their machines for the browser or office software. No reason to use command line for them, ever.

That hasn't been my experience. I suspect that most others who also daily drive linux would find it remarkable if someone used Linux every day for a year and never needed to open a terminal to install anything, fix anything, reset anything, update anything, follow any instructions given by any software they found and wanted to use, etc.

		My parents have been using Ubuntu for 15 years continously and never used the command line a single time, I even had to retire the computer first as it was too old.
