I really don't know your exact path through Linux but there are always options. As with all software, there are some kinks you have to get used to.
If you don't like the terminal, use a distro that can run without it (Linux mint?).
If you want unified apps, use a desktop environment (lxqt, KDE, gnome), all the basic apps come from the same place.
In windows if you want more software, you have to install it, the graphics drivers are fragmented, the browsers are fragmented... I use windows for some work stuff and I find myself using the terminal more since switching to Linux because some commands allow for more customization and I don't like searching GUIs for options.
As always, there is no problem if you don't like Linux, stick to what's comfortable for you. I just try to recommend Linux to chip away at windows marketshare so it doesn't end up being a monopoly in the OS side.
