The original comic is actually genius, and very true.

You clearly see it when the Linux users start prostletysing.

I want to like Linux and leave Windows, but when I say that I don't want to be forced to use CLI/terminal because I don't live in the 1970s, people get angry at me.

When I need to run terminal, it's because I'm following a specific guide to fix or setup something. It's not much different than following a similar guide for Windows, except there might be a bit more copy+paste going on on Linux.

The omnipresent mentions of terminal also delayed my switch and it was completely unnecessary.

Yes, I eventually managed to learn how to do most stuff without the terminal, but almost all "How to do Whatever on Linux" tutorials immediately jump into it.

I know the terminal is more distro-agnostic, but even the distro-specific tutorials do it.

Yes, but day to day usage, you don't have to touch it
