Well, the hypers have pushed technical distros like CachyOS to casual users, requiring them to go to terminal to install apps instead of pushing people toward user-friendly distros with GUIs that would make their computers and apps even easier to manage than on windows.
That's how we lose: by overestimating the tech-savviness of people and calling them stupid when they don't get it, as if everybody had a degree in computer
engineeringsciences.We are the stupid ones. We are toxic.
Unless you have specific wants (which casual users mostly doesn't), you don't need terminal to install most apps on CachyOS.
