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.

No one is forcing you to learn it, but you do need it for getting out of trouble.

The CLI is the fastest way of getting things done if you know what you're doing.

you most definitely do need to use it on Linux, especially if you have a Nvidia graphics card... Audio issues are also prevalent.

Not once in the 11 months and 3 updates I saw when still on my nVidia card did I need to use terminal for anything, as there's a built-in program for that on Mint (and a couple other distros at least, looks like)

True. But do we have to include the NVidia disclaimer in every post about Linux adoption?

Maybe we genuinely should start. It seems like it burns a lot of folks.

Some vendors have lousy Linux support.

But then, MacOS on Dell hardware, and Windows on MacBook also both require extensive CLI. iOS on Samsung gets pretty weird.

I think maybe the disclaimer we should get better at adding is:

Take care to purchase hardware that advertises Linux support.

Lots of old hardware just works on Linux, but folks trying Linux for the first time should be encouraged to check for a vendor statement.
