I think reality lies somewhere in the middle. Yes you have to read and yes you have to configure things but the docs are all on the wiki. There’s a point where this is easier than figuring out how to undo the defaults on, say, Ubuntu and do your own thing without official documentation on it.
It is definitely not a bit more work. It’s hours and hours of reading manuals, following video guides and configuring every last detail.
This is a gross simplification
