You'll always get downvotes for this from Linux apologists who didn't have the exact problems you're describing, but you're 100% right. There are loads of things you might reasonably want to do in Linux that require a command line, or just don't work well.

Hello, yes, I'd like to use my fingerprint sensor please.

Yeah, those have always been tricky to get working right. I just don't bother.

I mean it's probably computers in general. The amount of Windows support requests I get from relatives.... They also don't get how to fix file associations, their printer stopped working for the second time in a year or they clicked on "update" and now they're on Win 11 and having massive issues with it. I'd say computers are just difficult to deal with, sometimes... Maybe an iPhone has lower maintenance. But I don't think it has anything to do with Linux. Some people refuse to acknowledge that. I've used both. And a Logitech mouse definitely works.
