There is no command line required on an android phone for one.

Generally not required on modern desktop distros either, unless you want to tinker or have poorly supported hardware. Package management, including kernel updates, binary drivers, etc. can all be done in the GUI.

Then again, I spend most of my time in the terminal because I like it.

Same. And I spend more time setting things up then using them.

I'm sorry, absolutely off-topic question, but is your username 'microwave'?

[–] denshirenji 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, it is. I used some derivation of microwave a long time ago on some forum or another, but it's a common word so I threw it in Google Translate and started using this one other places.
