There's a large difference between linux on the server and on your (personal) desktop.

Not knowing how to operate a server, I have to assume it's harder and you have to know everything it does and the CLI to use it. Not the same for mint or any other pre-packaged distros.

There's a lot less strange issues and hardware incompatabilities are not really a thing. No massive complicated daemons such as X either.

But yes, the CLI is a requirement.
