An at least superficial understanding of the cli is an essential part of using linux. If you don’t ever want to use a cli, what are you doing pursuing linux? Do you just want a free version of windows? Go pirate windows.
I guess I should have written “If you want to never have to use a cli” instead of “If you don’t ever want to use a cli”, as I didn’t mean you have to want to use a cli to use linux. I meant that one has to be OK with using a cli, accepting of the fact that they have to use a cli.

I pursue Linux because I want a FOSS OS and its privacy and security benefits, not because I want to tinker and learn the CLI.
I mean, I do want to tinker and I have learned the CLI but it’s not why I pursue Linux.
