First of all, training users to copy stuff into a terminal is just a bad idea.

Also, youre basically suggested that users use a GUI (a web browser) to get instructions on how to use a command line.

It makes a lot more sense for there to be a clear and easy to use package manager, and if users are having trouble figuring that out, work needs to be done to rectify that.

Also, if you’re targeting power users who are familiar with the command line, that’s one thing. But right now linux desktop feels like it wants to be everything for everyone and that’s a very hard rope to walk
