I want to like Linux and leave Windows, but when I say that I don't want to be forced to use CLI/terminal because I don't live in the 1970s, people get angry at me.

If all you do is web browse and play games, you should be able to use Linux without the CLI just fine.

I installed Ubuntu in a VM to torrent with mulvad. I had to go to the command line. Worse was googling gave multiple contradictory instructions that further reading yielded "deprecated".

I made it work because I've been doing it for 30 years. Anyone else would be better with Windows where it just works.

you haven't been using torrents, Ubuntu, or VPNs for 30 years. why would you lie about that?

I've been using Linux for 30+ years so using a command line isn't a problem. In fact my experience is a problem because my goto commands and config files have all been deprecated.

For example I immediately tried ifconfig. You're probably too young to even know that command.

no... i still haven't figured out what i'm supposed to use instead.

ifconfig was deprecated in 2009. I got into Linux in the last 10 years and still used ifconfig. Sure, it's deprecated and no longer included in most modern installs, but you can still download and use it as before. A lot of guides online used ifconfig, so it's a pretty common package for inexperienced users to download, even if deprecated.

Which is exactly what I said if you'd stop being hostile. I tried ifconfig, it wasn't there. Googled saw instructions for both ifconfig and ip. Read more saw ifconfig deprecated. Saw /network/interfaces is deprecated. But when you Google it shows that and systemd information. As I said, I knew enough to know what I was reading and got it working.
