It 'can' be overwhelming, yes. I've never found, however, so MANY online guides that literally tell you step by step what to enter in the terminal window to succeed. There's always a learning curve, it's just about whether or not you want to pay Windows every month to avoid figuring this out. This is why I mentioned Mint specifically, btw. It's the most user friendly.
