I have tried to install Linux three times in the last ten years, namely Debian 10, 11 and 12. If you are not very demanding, then yes, the installation is simple and after installation Linux always started and I got straight into the graphical environment. You can pat yourself on the shoulder for what a mess it is and then delete Linux again with this conviction. But if you have slightly higher requirements, for example, you want to install Steam on Linux and also want to play games there (and by that I mean something newer than Half life and Quake), then you definitely can’t do without knowledge of the command line to install graphics card drivers. During the very first installation, I also had a problem with the network card, which was quite unstable and the connection kept dropping out. After a bit of research I found that Linux was detecting an RTL 8189 NIC when in fact I had an RTL 8188. I solved this originally by actually buying a physical NIC with an RTL 8189 and disabling it on the motherboard. Likewise, such trifles, such as connecting network drives, must also be handled via the command line. I can’t really imagine how someone who doesn’t know the command line at all and has no interest in learning it would solve such problems. Linux has certainly come a long way in recent years, but even so, at least a minimal knowledge of the command line is still necessary at times. Then there are also minor problems, for example when you find out that your USB hub that you just bought does not run on Linux and you have to buy other.
