Oh I know exactly the ads your talking about, the setting for that is misleading option that is super easy to miss during setup, Microsoft has been doing that since Windows 10 released and its quite frustrating.

Yes the terminal can be daunting for a beginner, in my first experience with linux was all the way back when Ubuntu was the most popular distro and the only way I got through some of the confusing stuff was from copying and pasting commands from a youtube guide.
