How long ago was this written? Sure it’s not perfect but you can run a lot of distributions like fedora, ubuntu, opensuse etc etc whatever exactly as described. Maybe this is a joke I didn’t understand lol. But in case it is not:
No need to use command line if you don’t want to
Drivers are installed automatically (okay this might depend on the distro but in OpenSUSE I recall this being possible in a GUI)
There is a steam flatpak, and most user apps can be installed through a GUI, often as flatpaks
For a user like this, I see no reason to interact with system packages other than choosing when to update.
I’m a programmer and even I rarely edit ANYTHING in /etc on my desktop. Sure I edit stuff in ~/.config, but that is not stuff a “normal” user would need to do.
Now sure if you want to start customizing your login screen and this that and the other thing, eventually you will have to run something on the command line. But Windows doesn’t allow much customization beyond changing your desktop background, and pales in comparison to the amount of customization you can do with KDE, all through a GUI

While it’s true that Windows offers less customization than KDE, it offers way more than vanilla GNOME.
I found a lot of customization options on W11, some that aren’t even available on KDE (ex: touchpad gestures configuration)
