    What is an “industrial OS” anyway?

    A non-consumer focused OS. One focused on serving commercial industry.

    So anyway, what’s your point exactly?

    I’ve never once been able to setup a Linux distro, and walk through my normal steps of customizing settings the way I’d like and installing the basic programs I need to do office work, without at some point running into instructions that tell you to use the command line. I’m a professional programmer and have no issue with that, but I’m also someone capable of understanding where the average human being is at technology wise and recognize that would be a non-starter for them.

      Linux was actually developed as a (kernel for a) desktop OS. It doesn’t focus on the server or the desktop, distros do that.

      What distros did you try and when? In 2023, you can totally set up Ubuntu or Linux Mint without using the terminal. Obviously for “power-user” settings you might need to use the terminal or edit config files, but just as regular users cannot do those things, they also don’t need that functionality.
