The goal of Linux Mint is to specifically not be difficult for new users coming from windows and macos.
In fact, the design of the system calls back to the old windows 7 days when computers were not ad slop where the users became the QA testers like it is now. The people at Mint want a no bullshit experience, you are not going to be a beta tester.
If you like computers that will work for you, I highly recommend just doing what you said and trying it out.
It also seems like you have a perception of linux that dates back a decade ago, most of that geeky nerd stuff is gone now. I promise you that you can use Linux mint without ever going into a terminal and typing bespoke incantations.
Also the last part you mentioned is just political discourse, feel free to ignore that. Required reading for that is free software free society on the community sidebar.

I think you’re right about this part and it’s a relief to hear that this viewpoint is outdated. I will give it a try and if I can get it up and running smoothly I will be right back here in this comm telling people that even a dumbass can do it lol. Thank you!
