Yes but without the GUI er, Desktop Environment people
such as myself would have to really work hard to learn to use
Linux. I am 84.25 yoa and not really capable of that effort
except on a piece-meal solve a particular problem.
My LUG is reduced to Monthly jit.si meeting. Sunday
at our Meeting a chap from BC-LUG had a problem in which
he had done mis-configuring on the fly and ended up with a
non-working system. One of our nearby experts showed him
how to repair his system in about half the time he intended
to spend working on that. We are in San Francisco by the
way and he was coming in from B.C, CA. Another of our
experts called in from Massachusetts where he is with
family presently. That time of year.
Personally being totally inexpert and barely
capable of copy and paste I turn our a monthly column
of more or less Linux news for the Champaign-Urbana
Computer Users Group, CUCUG. The man who asked me
to do this is a member of our sadly diminished
Team Amiga mailing list.
I am very good at asking for help as long as
I can keep the Latitude E7450 online. It comes from
having an overly large vocabulary, i think.
Don't let the eroding base of the Usenet
Community (whatever I mean by that), get you down.
Look for posts in whatever interests you and either
learn or help others learn about the simplicity
underlying GNU/Linux/KDE/Gnome/etc. and the workers
who turn out the updates for the sometimes complicated
Desktop Environments.
And on PCLinuxOS I am up to 5.14.17 and hoping
to see 5.2.x before I give up on typing.

After all here I am...
