Most people will need internet connection to Google specific commands to run or install the most trivial things, and it won’t always work depending on what distro you’re using. Oh you’re using MX Linux? Goodluck downloading a Plex client installer and just clicking it to install. Maybe use Snap but then good luck creating a shortcut with just a right click.
Limux won’t replace Windows anytime soon, not if even enthusiasts need to Google almost everything.

Linux:
User: Can you install this 50 year old program?
Linux: it’s already installed
No you can’t because the dependency doesn’t exit anymore.
Have you heard to Good Word of our Lord and Savior, AppImage?

Grep is from 1973 so yeah.

Bold of you to think I’d install a Plex client when I can just stream video in my terminal with mplayer in glorious ASCII.
And why would you search the internet when there’s a manual built right in?
