Do I want someone to look over my shoulder and say "BTOP? That shit's badass"? Yes.

Do I want to give up my nice, simple GUI heuristics and get a tattoo of all the esoteric commands down my forearms? Sadly, I am not actually cool enough for that shit.

No. I will accept my fate, install Mint, diminish, and go into the West.

Btw if typing scary, you can always use the KDE Task Manager like a Windows user. Just don't let people see you.

For what it's worth, DEs like KDE have their own GUI resource monitor preinstalled. CLI programs like btop are just there if you want to use them. See, for example, KDE's.
