You have been worked for many years with Windows and did know meanwhile where to find more hidden configuration options.
Me too, but I'm still annoyed when I have to change a specific option and did not remember where to find it. And then they moved options with new Windows versions. So it does not help when knowing where it was with 7 when it is somewhere else with 10.
But I have also worked with Linux servers for many years. With the usage comes the experience. I know where to look for the configuration files. Even when not, it is not difficult to find them below /etc or /usr/local/etc.
My tips:
Use Linux. After a year or more you will know enough to ask Google less often.
Don't forget the man and info pages. Using them makes asking Google often not necessary.
Select an editor that you like.
Use some helper tools.
I prefer the Midnight Commander (MC) for directory navigation, quick editing and viewing, changing file permissions, and much more.
Finally:
A server does not need a GUI.
If you still want to use a mouse you can install a remote configuration utility like Webmin.

Using command line is hard for me also, can never remember the commands and what all the options. I suppose if i used it enough i would but a gui is so m7ch easier.

The Inferior/Superior Unix Man:
Because they have an inferiority complex, and knowing obscure command line commands and their obtuse arguments gives them a feeling of superiority.
The Ostrich Unix Man:
Some prefer to keep their head buried in the sand, claiming that they can do things faster and better with the command line.
The Child Superpower Unix Man:
Knowing the command line gives some the sense of immense power over the operating system, because they never had any authority when they were children.
The Cheap Anti-Corporation Unix Man:
Isn't it amazing how people will actually pay the evil corporation when all this stuff is free!

The command line has a higher learning curve, that much is true. But if you get over the hump so to speak, you can a lot (and I mean a LOT) of things with it, that most GUI-centric application would make impossible.
My biggest peeve on it, is having to learn so many different command lines. Like, I have no desire to learn PowerShell since I'm a Unix fanboy. One is enough, but I'd suggest knowing at least one.

Sure, you can do everything and more with a command line... If you can remember all of the commands
Unfortunaly, in Linux you HAVE to do everything yourself.
I'd much rather go through an installer that let's me customize everything I want to than do some sudo curl https://something.org/something/a.key > i_dont_even_remember - and then go through a couple of files using some weird text editor just to set some basic settings

Once again, learning curve. Some people want things done for them, and that's ok. Some people want the nuts and bolts. And that's ok too. Both come at a price, choose your poison.

The meaning of life is, and has always been, 42!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I've always thought Garfield was rather dull and stupid. And yet, every day I find myself clicking on your Garfield link and chuckling.
It's a sign of growing older. I've either matured, or become more immature.

I think it's in the eye of the beholder. A cuddly toy bear was definitely one of life's more meaningful aspects when I was young child.

Over rocks and between very close trees? If so you get a standing ovation from me. That's insane.

No, wide tracks, even trials riding isnt as mad as downhill mountain biking.
I was just saying, give me an engine in an off road bike and you can have hours of fun!
