Yup, the nice thing about windows was everything was accessible by both mouse and keyboard so for people who needed the gui to figure things out it’s there for you and for people who are comfortable on the keyboard you used to be able to never think about the mouse. (This is no longer the case on windows 10 even, they’ve totally neutered keyboard navigation and you often need to reach for the mouse or use the arrow keys excessively for many things now).

Linux requires being super comfortable on the keyboard, using cli nearly exclusively and recalling with perfect accuracy arcane letter incantations which if you know the guy who wrote the program and the full name of his dog makes sense but to everyone else is just random letters strung together.
