You've given me instructions that require terminal use, your argument is invalid. If it doesn't either work out of the box or is immediately fixable without going into the terminal, then it's not ready yet.
Counter arguments are not allowed on Lemmy. Especially this topic. It's non negotiable and you will always be wrong or downvoted for being right
I'm not making an argument, I'm telling you how to fix your problem.
Even if the instructions required terminal use, you're on Linux. You're not going to make it very far if you confuse having to use the terminal with a failure in the software.
Regardless, literally none of what I said requires you to use the terminal. It requires you to install a specifically named software package and type 5 characters into the Dolphin bar (note, the picture).
I fixed this ages ago, I am pointing out that it's unacceptable from a UX standpoint. And it was in the last year for the record, this definitely wasn't just a fully solved issue years ago.
if installing a plugin and typing something into the admin bar requries a terminal then every password prompt on windows is also a terminal.
