From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just use openSuse. With Tumblweed you even get a a rolling distro that does not require any terminal use.

Can you live without using your thumbs?

To be fair you can't use windows without using the terminal. And you have to open regedit to turn off a lot of annoying crap

Why would you want to?

How can I trust an application that was installed by a "Software Manager" that doesn't have super cow powers?
