If you tried to stumble your way around the UI on Linux you'll probably find very similar UI paths to solve any issue. The thing is that Linux has several different UIs so when you ask in a forum it's easier to give you the UI-agnostic solution. Let's take a common issue with an apparent arcane solution, e.g. change your screen positions. On windows you do this by going start > settings > system > display and adjust them there, on Linux you'll get given an xrandr command like xrandr --output HDMI-0 --left-of DP-2, but on KDE you go start > system settings > display and monitor and adjust them there, but because you might be using Gnome, Lxde, XFCE, Mate, etc (all of which have a very similarly intuitive path to adjust this) it's easier to give you a command that does it.

For the first several years I used Linux I almost didn't touched the terminal, and that was a long time ago so it's not that it's not possible or recent, it's just that because windows has only a single graphical interface you get answers for it, but if you ask things on generic Linux forums you'll get generic Linux responses, if you had to do things without asking anyone online they're very much the same.
