When people cricitize Linux there's always people responding "it's simple really, just run this super long command and do this and that".. looks like the same thing to me.
I hated that Linux has all these commands you had to go through, then I installed Windows 11 and tutorials were telling me run all these commands to fix it. I figure I'd just use Linux at that point.

Was this still your experience though? I am using Fedora on GNOME and I rarely have to use the terminal. I like to use it but if you don't want to, you don't have to. There is a graphical installer, settings panel, software center, file manager, disk utility software, etc.
Similarly, people love to talk up MacOS while paying $30 per tool to fix basic issues.
Every OS is utterly terrible right now. Linux is free at least and the work Valve has put into it has dramatically improved the normal person experience.
