My hot take: If you have to use a command line EVER to do ANYTHING - it’s not ready for non-technical users.
I know this is an annoying take, but Mac OS is considered the most user friendly OS because of its limited hardware choices and fewer command line interactions.
But nowadays you don’t need to do that anymore. Every distro has its own app store. You can install the applications you like with one click and update them all, together with the entire system and drivers, with one click as well. It doesn’t get much simpler than that.

Then I guess Linux is as ready as Windows for the non-technical folks… the only difference is that with Windows is not like you get a CLI to do something, you just don’t get that something period.

Sadly not everything from GitHub is in those stores yet.

They why do I need to use the CLI to fix my mother’s Mac at least 3 times a year?
