We use RHEL at work, and even though everyone is a programmer we still have regular issues. Two different people managed to accidentally uninstall GNOME and break their entire machine by uninstalling Python2 which it apparently depends on.

You're probably thinking "well it will have said it was going to uninstall gnome - they just needed to read it!" and that is exactly why Linux will never really be ready for casual users.

This is why image based distros are helpful. They still allow the same flexibility, but now you do your very deep system level customization either through overlays so that everything is recorded and reversible, or in the cloud through ci/cd so that if you mess something up it doesn't immediately affect your computer at all, and things can be more repeatable. Combine this with rollbacks and such and it's quite good.
