I learned how to use a bash shell and write shell scritps before I ever used Linux as a desktop and it was not dificult at all. The problems with Linux are not the command line it is the fact that even if you do know the commands sometimes SHIT JUST FLAT OUT DOES NOT WORK PERIOD.

I simply would not care if I had to make install every single app on my box, but the problem is that packages and even make installs often fail or break other software. When I am installed there is not one database that tracks what was installed and where.

If there was one method of packaging and installing software in Linux that worked 100% of the time _anyone_ could learn and use it even if it were time consuming and complex.

People don't use Linux because Linusx is flawed, not because it is difficult to learn or use.
