I honestly hated idea of linux for soooo long. Ew. Like ew. Doesn't work, borks, needs command line, wtf is that steaming pile of...yeah. Ew.
But insert the goddamn bird with cracker meme after I tried Nobara last year (tried some other distros too). When Windows 10 loses support, I am pretty confident that Nobara will fill most of my needs.
And, well, have some IT experience, with linux too, so occasional terminal isn't that bad. I was simply afraid of constantly having to work in terminal.
I use CLI a lot because I find it much more convenient, so I'm genuinely curious where do you actually still need it in a modern distro as a standard user?
Hmm, mount a network drive, or any drive? On Windows it's a few clicks in Explorer, but I'm not aware of it being that easy on any distro I used. Always had to go into /etc/fstab manually
Mounting of USB drive is automatic, SFTP can be done with file browser (bookmarking). Permanent nfs mounting, like you do in fstab I don't know, maybe in the "drives" program. I would honestly argue that this is not a casual use case, but yes, I get your point. In the end it simply depends on the desktop environment.
I think the file managers do this for you nowadays, though I generally use 'cloud' style file syncing nowadays and so I'll confess to not having done it lately.
