I'll use Linux for a few things and I do appreciate it, but it's probably never going to be my daily driver as long as I can keep Windows 10 running. I don't like using terminal for everything, I want to click stuff with my stupid 50 button mouse like a dummy, and I don't want to install dependencies every time I went to do something new on my computer, I just want it to come bloated with too many drivers to cover my bases for 90% of use cases and not have to think about it. Does that make me dumb? Maybe, but just let me be dumb. ๐คฃ
You don't have to use it for anything. Especially on KDE.
That's literally what a package manager does for you. Unless you're building everything from source, you'll never have to do this.
You basically described the Linux kernel. It's not "bloated", but it has more drivers built into it than Windows does. Even when you plug in a mouse on Windows it literally installs drivers. On Linux stuff just works.
While you don't have to use it, there is a very large possibility that once in a while you will be at a disadvantage if you don't use it.
Not at all. The terminal is just simply faster at many tasks.
