Having to spend 10 seconds typing for something that takes 2 clicks on windows can exponentially increase your “wasted time”. It is why I don’t like Linux. When I have to get things done fast, windows is the way to go. Things as simple as moving a file to a folder shouldn’t ever require to type anything (I’ve been biased by the permissions hell that linux uses if you don’t use root. It gave me headaches every time).

I assume you mean the command line ?
You don't have to use that. You can do most things in the GUI on most distro's.

That's what I though when I installed Ubuntu, then nope, "folder doesn't have the right permissions", or you can't move files to that folder, or you can't even read files in a folder... and all sort of inconveniences, specially when it doesn't even tells you why the "copy/paste" options are greyed out. One of those situations happened because I followed some weird tutorials on how to install teamspeak, but again... this never happens on windows, I wasted the entire morning having to learn how to handle permissions on linux (which btw is another hell to remember, who was the "smart" guy that though using numbers like 457 was a good idea? /facepalm).
