You don't have to, but you can. It pays off to learn how to use basic
things like apt, and it's not complicated.

Thank you, but I doubt that.
I believe I did learn a number of "terminal tricks" along the way, but
...
I have been desparately struggling for EIGHT years (on and off),
trying to get friendly with Linux (multiple machines, multiple flavors
...)
in order to get away from Windows, but still am not getting anywhere.
I guess that means I am too stupid and should not be allowed anywhere
near a computer.
If I can do it (everything in household is now either XUbuntu
(3machines, Intel clone+MacBookPro+WWW Server) or Android (2 phones and
a Tablet)), you can.
I had 25 years of Win NT/XP myopia clocked up, and cleared the decks
when I retired by going all Linux. Very invigorating. A proper full
featured colour printer driver (that I can use) is the only big thing
that has eluded me over 5 years. I use a mixture of the simpler terminal
tricks, but GUI most of the time is fine. I used cmdline in NT/XP a bit
too, so not much different.
Don't give up, you will get there!
