You didnt mention which distro.

Are you using outdated Linux? (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint)

Or modern linux? (Fedora)

Too many people fell for Ubuntu's Free CD marketing 20 years ago and repeat a prayer that its 'sTaBlE'. Its not stable, Outdated linux is garbage.

Since switching to Fedora, I install RPM fusion + Nivida and never touch the terminal. I don't use app managers either, I just havent had a reason to use either app managers or the terminal in the last 1.5 years.

Citation needed. As an application developer, I'm seeing interest and activity on Fedora and Ubuntu decrease, and Debian and Mint increase.

(I'll agree with Ubuntu being a "trap", though not really for any reason related to stability.)
