Can you use Linux today without the terminal? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have used Arch for >13 years (btw) and use the terminal every single session. I also work with Linux servers daily, so I tried the other families with DEs (Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL/CentOS/AlmaLinux/Fedora).

I'm comfortable (and prefer) doing everything with CLI tools. For me, it's a bit difficult to convert my Windows friends, as they all see me as some kind of hackerman.

What's the landscape like nowadays, in terms of terminal requirements?

Bonus question: Which distribution is the most user-friendly while still updated packages? Does anything provide a similar experience to Arch's amazing AUR?

I do VR on Kubuntu, unless flatpak has changed and can do that DRM thing correctly now because it couldn't when I started, I got steam from the steam site, ensure you have compatibility on then ~80% - 90% of your library should just work. Lutris installed and ran EA/Sims3 fine, gf also plays official minecraft on her kubuntu. Any kernel anticheat is a no go on linux the ONLY use I see for cloud gaming is these games, but I really wish no one would show that this "service" is viable it will only hurt us in the end
