I do not care about AI, I do not care about people who care about AI. I have GOG and I used to use it though I don't use it much because it's not get up and running since unlike Steam I can't just load a gamescope session. I have to load a whole ass DE or WM and I don't like doing that. At least with Steam I can load Big picture mode in Gamescope and get a somewhat simple UI to select my games and play them and then quit back to my terminal when I'm done.

If you spend enough time using the CLI you'll become familiar with it to the point it becomes second nature to you. When I first started using Linux it was intimidating but then again when I started using computers (MSDOS) there wasn't anything else yet I was able to learn. So I forced myself to learn and I'm glad I did.
I wouldn't use any GUI ever if it wasn't for web content and games.
I've been using the terminal since forever, it has become second nature to me now. The only time I ever load up graphical applications is to load games or browse the web. And honestly it feels slow as hell, not because the UI or system is physically slow but because so many UIs feel like they get in the way.
Kind of like how Cypher in the matrix says he doesn't even see the code anymore, it's just second nature. It can be hard at first but I rarely make mistakes these days, and when I do, they're usually syntax errors.
I fully agree with this. My son and nephew wanted me to buy them Bedrock edition, I looked at that shit with the Marketplace and the Ads, and the Coins and was like 'No way, this is not suitable for children" and I got them the Java edition instead, and guess what. When they learned about mods and being able to go back to other versions they immediately loved the Java version.
They loved it so much that when they did finally play Bedrock with their friends they hated it because it is buggy and built poorly and asks them to buy stuff often.
You should not buy your kids games with predatory micro-transactions, just like you would not buy them violent or sexual games. I would say they damage developing minds just the same, and maybe more in some ways. You can't keep it from them forever obviously but if you train them in the formative years you can help them help themselves later on.
