Yeah, this is the case if you're a heavy terminal user. However, for a lot of people this is no longer necessary.
For a lot of people where just stock #gnome or #kde is good enough, and you use the software store app to install applications, you rarely have to touch the terminal and as such don't have to know the commands.
That being said, as a heavy #neovim and #emacs user, the power provided by actually knowing the commands is something that I could not do without.
I live in the terminal all day every day. And I still copy paste. It's generally way easier and less typo prone than typing everything
@Falmarri
I do a lot of copying and pasting as well, but what works very well as well is hitting control+r. When I found that out it sped up my workflow by quite a bit.
@zbecker @Falmarri Isn’t that for a referee search in your shell? Or is that only for zsh?
What are you referring to that makes ctrl+r so powerful?
@notnorm @Falmarri basically it enabled you to search your command history
@live_long_prosper
It's weird, I don't use the terminal on windows. TBF I never learned dos, so there is that
@zbecker @live_long_prosper @EliteCow Long live the terminal!
