Anxious about command line, as I have ADD and osteoarthritis = don’t care to type much or remember stuff with precision. Suggestions?
Everything, like Windows, is GUI.
The command line is useful, don't get me wrong. It's especially useful for admins. But it's not required for home users.

You won’t need the command line. Very little requires it anymore for normal everyday use. Most are now full GUI point and click just like Windows. The only time you might need the command line interface is if you are doing something very technical, like building your own personal VPN server.
I have found the command line as often required for enhanced functionality, more so in Linux than Windows. I have stiff arthritic finger and thus in about every 4th word I find I have landed on the wrong key, thus taking hours to type much, and so I save posts and often copy and paste much where fitting. Thus I use AutoHotKey in Windows to remapp Caps Lock to ctrl+c, Esc to ctrl+v; NumLock to Esc and the middle mouse button to crtrl+x. AutoHotKey script:
NumLock::Esc
CapsLock::^c
Esc::^v
mbutton::^x
Trying to do this in Linux distros (which lacks standardization here) has been frustrating. Then for Chrome (Chromium) type browsers there is the Dictation box free software that works quite well.
The interface is very much like Windows. The command line is for computer geeks.
