It also seems like you have a perception of linux that dates back a decade ago, most of that geeky nerd stuff is gone now. I promise you that you can use Linux mint without ever going into a terminal and typing bespoke incantations.

I think you’re right about this part and it’s a relief to hear that this viewpoint is outdated. I will give it a try and if I can get it up and running smoothly I will be right back here in this comm telling people that even a dumbass can do it lol. Thank you!
