I had to drop down to the terminal just to get my Xbox controllers to work properly
So you’re trying to connect a device to your PC which is literally made by Linux’ biggest opponent in the OS market who does not provide drivers for other platforms so that the driver has to be reverse engineered and then complain that this is a bit hacky?
I also had to drop to the terminal to see what video card driver I had installed and to install the actual one I wanted.
Package management (including gfx drivers) can be done in YaST with GUI.
Device Manager can tell you everything about any device you have connected and allow you to update, uninstall, and rollback device drivers. I know no GUI on Linux has that.
Luckily, linux drivers are provided as kernel modules and there should be no need to update, uninstall or rollback device drivers besides when the manufacturers don’t comply to open standards.
Despite all that, terminal is incredibly useful and can get tasks done orders of magnitude faster than the best GUI ever could.
