terminalphobia

the fear of the command line.
the symptoms include: thinking one tiny command is the craziest thing ever to happen, even though its literally just one command to install (firefox, chrome, wine, steam)
the average linux user has no fear of this, and it commonly occurs in windows users.

Terminal Aesthetic

A "design" style by engineers who build interfaces that are characterized by functional minimalism, visual austerity, and an absence of emotional or sensory intelligence. They produce systems that are logically sound but clunky, and unmistakably lacking in experiential refinement.

The term plays on "terminal" in two senses: computational (evoking command-line terminals, where interaction is textual, flat, and unforgiving), and existential (suggesting a kind of design that is lifeless or hostile to organic experience).

All automobile user interfaces seem to have a terminal aesthetic.
