You can choose whatever you want for whatever reason you want, but don't spread misconceptions on the internet. With Proton, if you install a newb distro there is literally no reason to touch the commandline at all for what you want to do.

You can do all that with Linux and there are plenty of distros where you minimally need to use the terminal or don't at all. Linux has distros for people who want windows without Microsoft. You only need the terminal if you're a power user.(Android is Linux, but you never hear anyone complain about having to use the terminal or anything. Linux is the most used OS in the world, you just don't realize it because it can be anything.)

It's funny that people can have opinions without any actual knowledge. It's a weird thing. How does that even happen? We can feel very strongly about things, and often so strongly that we ignore all countering information just so we can maintain our beliefs, as if it'll hurt us to change them. Humans are weird.
