People think Linux needs you to constantly open the terminal to work on things, in part because they see Linux users so often opening the terminal to work on things...
Was just appreciating this morning that the "opening the terminal to fix it" in Linux is a privilege, not a limitation lol.
Sound started glitching this morning, I of course checked the soundbar, unplugged and replugged it, didn't fix it. Switched to TV speakers same problem.
Me being a techie, I'm going "Ah, pipewire glitched out", I pop open the terminal type systemctl --user restart pipewire and voila sound is perfectly fine again.
Do I expect other people to know how to do that to handle an odd sound glitch? No! I expect them "turn it off and on again".
The difference is that in Windows that's the only choice, probably the same with Mac too.
