Please don't be so hard on yourself. I learn new commands or command
syntaxes every day, usually by searching the web for examples and then
reading man. Perhaps even Linus Torvalds himself learns new features
about the kernel every day.
The most difficult selling point for any linux flavor is the dreaded "do
I have to learn how to type commands?" Most people's eyes glaze over at
the thought of a terminal screen. They'd rather spend money on a newer
and faster systems to run bloated Windows releases than learn how to
handle a leaner kernel which can run on much simpler hardware. I am
convinced that anyone, and especially myself, can learn linux well.
Really, it's a matter of time-investment -- not everyone has the time to
learn libreoffice, for example, when their entire workplace uses MS Office.
Good luck!

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.
