Every time I tried installing, it failed in some new way. It wasn't consistent so I had no idea how to troubleshoot it. It wasn't asking which hard drive to install it onto, the installer was being extremely slow and unresponsive, the non-safe graphics option wasn't working at all.. I basically just had to abort the installation and start again like 10 times. What finally made it work was putting a different version of Ubuntu on the boot USB and using a different USB port and stick along with the safe graphics istallation. Even now it's still giving me some TOCBLOCK error on boot, but everything seems to work fine anyways.

I can’t really think of any normal task that requires the terminal

This was the quide for installing drivers for my wifi adapter for example. Maybe there is easier way but each one I found needed you to use terminal. Even the manual that came with the wifi stick.
