It’s not exactly a fair comparison, the tweaks in the bottom panel aren’t necessary for most users to do, yet a new user to Linux will need to get over a learning curve to do fairly basic tasks.
My litmus test for when Linux will be “ready” is can you do everything you need to do without using the terminal. So far I’ve yet to see a distribution that has achieved this.

The closest thing I’ve seen is SteamOS.
Meanwhile on Windows 11 you need a terminal even for the basic installation and local user setup.
