It may be my fault, but I feel that Linux (Ubuntu to be precise) has become admin-hostile. Take for example networking. 20 years ago, a newbie would spend hours, maybe days, to understand how interfaces, ips, subnets, firewall rules work. But then, it would be trivial to set up and troubleshoot your machine. Today, the same guy, after having lived a lifetime in Linux, can't find the way to change the nameservers on a Ubuntu VPS, or his Raspberry Pi. Is there a any Linux distribution out there, that doesn't try to make a user's life "simple", and expects that users work in the command line and not the GUI?

Linux distros like Arch or Gentoo cater to experienced users who prefer command line over GUI. These distros require manual configuration, providing a more admin-friendly environment
