I get it. Im pretty techy and I have an old laptop running windows because I can't get a solid state drive to redo a particular setup I have. Actually want to have two to backup another thing. I still use linux though and you don't really need to do any command line. At least no more than you do with windows. My recommendation is when you get a new windows machine go stick linux on the old one. You will be amazed at how much faster you old machine runs under linux and how much less resources it takes up to do the same activity. If you want an easy one to get going out of the box I recommend zorin but if gaming is a priority then bazzite.
