Is Linux (dumb)user friendly yet?
(lemmy.ca)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's better to ask which distro is dummy proof. Some are made for noobs and windows users, others are not, and they're all based on "Linux".
Mint, Debian, and Fedora are all good starter options, and all are made to get stuff done without having to use the command line.
Debian without the CLI?
...What?
Debian is the only one there I haven't actually tried myself as a daily driver, so idk if using the terminal is necessary. I've just heard it's solid and I assumed all normal user operations can be done via GUI in gnome or KDE like you can with Fedora.
As a Debian daily-driver with occasional
systemd
problems, ...not really.But like, this should be very possible.
