The only real attempt at monetisation that I’ve seen is https://beetoons.tv/, but they use their own crypto - making it like Odysee. Why is that?

Edit: Please, before you answer consider this monetisation doesn’t mean ads!

The way Linux sucseeds is by having a distro that embeds into its own culture the lack of terminal. A distro that not only DOESN’T come with terminal, but uses it as a “selling” point.

This is the stupidest idea I’ve heard since I heard the stupidest idea and that was in this same channel / community, a few months ago. Half the power of Linux is the terminal, because you can be expressive in doing things there that simply can’t be done in a reproducible manner in GUIs. and reproducibility is very important when you want people to adopt Linux because you need the support you give to work “almost everywhere”, which the terminal does.

What is missing, more than “no terminal”, is “everything (or at least most of the stuff) that is doable in a terminal SHOULD have an associated standard to access it via a GUI”. But then you get into issues such as “the start menu should be in THIS corner of the screen and labelled THIS way and have the menus in THIS order”… and at the end that’s just corporate Gnome image, which by this point is just Windows but for Linux (see: Icaza, Potterdung, et al.).
