Installing it was a hassle? May I ask how? In my experience it's windows that's a hassle to install. The non-descript error messages, it randomly rebooting like 6 times during installation was pretty jarring, it takes ages even for an NVME drive.
On Linux it's generally next next username password next next and we're done. Maybe on a laptop you'll need to install WiFi drivers manually if it's a crappy Broadcom WiFi adapter, but that's not been an issue for years I don't think.
And as for needing to do stuff in terminal I don't really see that either. Everything seems to be accessible in the GUI, I can't really think of any normal task that requires the terminal
Every time I tried installing, it failed in some new way. It wasn't consistent so I had no idea how to troubleshoot it. It wasn't asking which hard drive to install it onto, the installer was being extremely slow and unresponsive, the non-safe graphics option wasn't working at all.. I basically just had to abort the installation and start again like 10 times. What finally made it work was putting a different version of Ubuntu on the boot USB and using a different USB port and stick along with the safe graphics istallation. Even now it's still giving me some TOCBLOCK error on boot, but everything seems to work fine anyways.
This was the quide for installing drivers for my wifi adapter for example. Maybe there is easier way but each one I found needed you to use terminal. Even the manual that came with the wifi stick.
