So the advantage of GUIs over CLIs is discoverability, right? But the processes for reading logs or fixing hardware issues in Windows are not really discoverable, you still have to search the net and learn, so what’s the difference? That the keyboard is scary?
I think most of these complaints are just borne of unfamiliarity.
But to answer your question, as a Bazzite user: definitely “I don’t know”. I’ve been using linux for years, it’s natural to me to just open the terminal for many things, therefore I’m not sure whether there are roadblocks to a 100% mouse usage, but to be honest, if all you do is use the browser, office suite and games, I’d say that yes, your need to resort to the terminal is almost zero.

Don’t forget accessibility. Proper GUIs are accessible, they convey function and meaning through form. People constantly forget that.
