b)CTRL+SHIFT+P

WHich is the more intuitive option?


EDIT: Having the command line is good, no question about that. Look at the App Manager*, for instance. Using it download apps is a lot more intuitive than the apt-get option. It is easier too look through apps and find which ones to download. SOmetimes, I go to the app manager with no app in mind. I just hope something catches my eye. The command line can't do that.




*Ignore the fact that it is slow
100% agreed with nosa101

There is a saying we physicists have:
"The most simple solution is always the best solution"

An excellent example of this would be the concept of a simplified formula
Eg. for day to day use what would you prefer:

p = m*a/(pi*r^2)
and then arbitrarily fill in each variable or constant

Or simply:

p = F/A

Simplicity might be limiting, but complexity is only useful if it is specifically required.
