Again: According to Adobe itself, 98% of computer users don't use photoshop AT ALL. That includes windows users. It's a problem only a few people have.

I need you to understand 98% of windows users (and computer users in general) don't need or use photoshop and advanced photo editing

It's not the only real option tho. First of all a vast majority of those buying big trucks and cars don't need a truck and aren't hauling shit, they are buying them for a status symbol, second of all vehicles that are legal in Europe, with their stricter safety standards etc, are legal in the US, you can buy the smaller vehicles I'm talking about in the US or other places, they are available, yet market forces still push towards the shittier massive vehicles, because it makes more money to market these vehicles to insecure men.

Terminals are only limited in tasks that require graphics content, what a shocker.

For all other cases they're vastly more powerful than any GUI can be, because no developer can (or should, it's unrealistic to ask them to do this) match the amount of complex operations terminal commands can reach with one string or script. With GUIs you also have to deal with different sets and toolkits, like GTK, Qt, etc etc.

There's use-cases where GUIs work better and cases where terminals work better and which ones belong where also depends on the user, but saying terminals are more limited than GUIs and bad is flat out wrong and dishonest.

Then car companies wouldn't be making bigger and bigger cars

I think it's the opposite, GUIs are often convoluted and rudimental compared to the power of the terminal. The terminal can be very sophsticated.

Just because it's how we used to do things in the past it doesn't mean it's archaic, quite the opposite it's a very powerful and useful tool that no GUI can ever possibly match, in fact generally GUIs are either for noobs (and I don't mean this in a derogatory way) and/or convenience, but you can't really match the ease of automating, power, and freedom a terminal provides when in the hands of someone who understands what they're doing.

terminal is also useful as a cross-distro way of doing things and helps avoid cluttered, bad or ugly UIs. Of course the degree at which someone prefers the terminal over a GUI and for which applications is 95% subjective, the other 5% being when either a GUI is pretty much necessary (i.e. image editing) or viceversa (i.e. automation, looking like a l33t h4x0r to impress the ladies/boys/enbies, managing the 3PBs of monkey memes)

best way: try to use it for daily tasks. Copying and moving files? terminal, moving around? terminal, editing text? vim. Etc etc. Eventually you will learn to use it.

Also check out RobetrsElderSoftware's "[command] is my favorite Linux command" shorts to find out new commands. Also install tldr (sudo apt install tldr on mint, sudo pacman -S tldr on Arch & derivatives) it's very helpful when you want more (and better formatted) info than [command] --help but less than man [command]

This goes super hard

market forces trend towards using people's fragile masculinity to sell them big truck to make money.

The only way we can get these shitstains out of our society is to completely and violently maim said free market with an axe.
