Using wine can be a bit troublesome especially if you’re new to linux. For example wine doesn’t come with dxvk which is basically mandatory for playing games nowadays.
Most people use another program to deal with wine, like lutris, bottles, or steam with the built in proton.
X11 does not support different refresh rates across monitors.
You need a Wayland capable DE for that. The big one is Gnome.
Are you just typing random letters? Terminal commands are basically programs, like word. There’s thousands of them, just like there’s thousands of programs on windows. And yeah, these programs, or terminal commands can get quirky, but they are also very powerful.
Luckily for you, modern distributions work perfectly fine without ever touching the terminal, so you should be fine if you prefer gui programs.
Linux has hundreds of distributions, plenty of which feature gui alternatives like Linux Mint, everything’s not arch. I’ll remind you console commands are a thing on windows as well.
That’s such a weird comment considering gnome has been the on the forefront of wayland’s implementation from the get-go and KDE’s is still experimental.
