“The question in this title may seem to be a hard one to answer.
I think it is an easy one to answer. Linux is as hard to use as you
want it to be. It is as simple as that. Note I am not talking about
installing or configuring. I am talking about daily usage where you
turn your computer on in the morning. Work on it during the day and
then turn it off at night.

” If you are a gung ho command line commander (guilty as charged
🙂 then the Linux you choose to use will reflect that. Same goes
for the mouse click musketeers.”
