      Actually l wish to learn working on Linux, as it gives me the power to create an entire universe. And for this, l need to master the command line, right ??

        I’m… a bit confused. Create an entire universe?

        I mean, I guess if you mean game dev or something, yeah… you can do that on Windows too though of course (Mac is iffy these days)

        also you don’t need to learn the command line if you just want to use Linux like you use Windows. It is super handy for some stuff, though (batch moving files around, anything system administration related, automating tedium, basically anything where “telling the computer what to do” sounds like a useful way to solve your problem).

            It depends on what you’re trying to do on your computer. No command line is needed for web surfing, checking emails, writing office documents, playing games, watching videos… It’s not too dissimilar to Windows in that regard. Windows also has the command line and the power shell. You can use it if you like, but you don’t have to. There’s other tasks for which you need it, though. For example fixing your computer might involve the command line. Or software development.
