So when i said "window manager based Linux" I was mostly referring to the stereotypes of the Linux window manager; which 1 person not even having a mouse; staring apps; moving windows doing everything with their keyboard. If you wanna look a bit more into window managers for windows the only "okay" one that I've personally used is bug.n and for Linux there's tons; but my personal fav is I3
As for the terminal itself honestly it just comes with time. Really go trough some effort to make your terminal your own; find what shell emulators you like I use one called alacrity myself. Take the time to customize it to your liking. For me, thats adding tools like cgywin to my windows; or swapping shells on linux entirely to something like fish. Customizing the look with tools like starship
Then making tons, and I mean TONS of dotfiles. Heres and example of standard dotfile configs From custom keyboard shortcuts for terminal apps and editors like vim. To i3 configs entirely. Even small qol changes like a ssh config so i don't need to follow the damn template of @:. And generally moving about in the terminal alot more until i felt comfy. So say i wanted to compress a file; i'd probably opt to do that in the terminal until it just became second nature. Then move to general file management. At first starting out with tools like ranger to make life easier but slowly progressing to just using the base commands (cd, ls, etc). The terminal defiantly isn't for everyone and is sometimes a lot worse then gui apps. Mostly in terms of usability and speed (depending). But i can safey say that its for me.
