    Well, the thing is, you almost don’t. But like the other commenter said, most instructions are for terminal when something happens and from my - fairly limited as of now - experience, terminal is still key to linux configuration.

    What was mostly generating the Ew response was the fact that linux isn’t really known for being newbie friendly. Then getting hit with headless debian during studies also didn’t exactly change what I thought.

      I understand your argument, just isn’t the GUI version meant to work without external instructions? Otherwise I don’t really see a point in it. That instructions are mainly for terminal is probably because it’s easier and clearer than posting screen shots, and that for both authors and users. But that might just be my impression.
