Don't know what you mean. Have people on opens use here, and they do just fine without the command line.
For what, may I ask? Can you give an example? I'm on Debian, arguably a less friendly distro than most, but I haven't had to touch the terminal in two weeks. And it was just to ping a server somewhere, something you need to do on the command line in Windows as well.
Why the hell would you need to open the terminal for any of that? It's in your settings
Yes it is. You seem reluctant to tell anybody which distro you're using (even downvoting the person who asked), probably because you know they'd point out that it is in fact there.
Below I'm showing you how it is on my laptop running GNOME, the most used desktop environment. It's similarly easy in KDE Plasma and Cinnamon. Even the more niche DEs like Pantheon, Budgie, XFCE, and LXQT have had that functionality for many years.
Change audio devices
Switch power profile
Bonus switch power profile
I really don't know why you're lying about this. The terminal is not something you'd ever need to open for this.
That is changing the default device. When you set one that's what it sticks to. Same goes for the power profile.
Why are you lying?
You're the one that's lying.
I literally proved you a liar for both of your points lmao
No, you're the one lying, and I provided evidence.
Cringe.
What's your distro?
You really don't. I don't know what on earth you're doing that requires it.
And I have to do bullshit like go onto powershell and the heap of shit that is the Windows registry from time to time, too. Shit, you need to enter commands to install windows with an offline account now, it's insane.
I wish Microsoft could make Windows as user-friendly as most Linux distros are. It seems like you need to be a computer scientist to use Windows sometimes.
