The core issue is that Linux wasn't designed around regular consumers but rather around pros/techies
This is why Android or even ChromeOS were able to penetrate consumer markets far more while being based on the same Linux kernel
Google prioritized easy, intuitive UI that any person can pick up easily without any prior knowledge
no terminal commands, no need to understand file-systems, no config-changes, no debugging errors
Apple has proved this is as crucial as the quality of the kernel/OS itself
What actions are you doing that require a terminal?
making two displays work properly with correct aspect ratio and refresh rate
buggy UI components that needed restart from terminal
Many features aren't fully accessible from the UI AFAIK
I actually tend to interact with Linux machine mostly via terminal because UI is so unreliable from my experience
If there's one thing that Linux does very poorly IMO, it is GUI (technically desktop environments but you get the point)

What was missing from the Gnome display settings? I have all those options.
