Trust me, I have typed in more than a few command lines into shells running under those kinds of OS'.
Sometimes the command line that looks like complete gibberish. And it works.
On other occasions, what you type in what you think should work only to have the OS something unexpected or simply really down right weird, sending demonic processes spinning off to do God only knows what damage.
Its definitely not an easy to use "it just works" environment.
My Dad is 78 and has been using Linux for years. He's not an IT guy. He just wanted something that "just works". Its been working for him for a long time.
