It’s always going to feel like this even if you never need a terminal for one simple reason:
When you google “how to XX on linux,” you’re going to find a stackexchange page where someone else asked, and someone answered with a terminal command instead of “Ok what DE are you using? Ok, so you’re gonna want to click these seventeen different menu options, and I don’t remember them without looking at them myself.” It’s just always going to be easier to send someone a string of ~30char to type than to try and figure out their GUI without screensharing.
Tbf, of course it is better to understand what those commands do too, but it always starts there! (And maybe a youtube tutorial or two for cd, ls, pwd, history, etc.)

Yep. Every Linux problem has the exact same solution: ctrl-c, ctrl-v.
