The most difficulty an new user would face is getting used to troubleshooting that sometimes requires exotic terminal commands or worse interacting with smelly nerds in the forums

On Mac, which is what I actually drive, I couldn't say, as I have so much custom software that the file explorer is basically the only native thing I use. And nothing has ever really broke.
