Yes. Just partition the drive manually, install packages with debootstrap, bind-mount /proc, /sys and /dev, chroot into it and install a bootloader. If you don't understand what I say, you have to run an installer, possibly in a VM.

It is documented in libapt-pkg-doc (/usr/share/doc/libapt-pkg-doc/method.html/index.html).

Why you say "Linux" when you mean "Fedora"?

If I'd decide to implement something like this, I'd consider two options: local repo with file:// scheme or custom apt-transport. HTTP server is needless here. (But I'll never do this because I prefer to rebuild packages myself if there's no repo for my distro.)

no functional programming languages like Rust

What?

No, it is impossible to solve this on filesystem level. In theory, it would be possible to adopt some video codec for compression of such photo series, but it would be a lot of work to integrate it into immich.

Bank clients. Taxi aggregator clients.

There's one case when you can't avoid using command line. If you ask someone on Internet to help you, he will say you to type some commands. No window clicking, no screenshots will help. All GUIs are different, but CLI is (almost) always the same, and its output is well searchable. That's why you see numerous command line listings in each topic discussing problems and could decide it's impossible to use Linux without coding.

In depends on how dumb the user is. If you want to see drive C:\ and don't want to learn why there's no such a thing, forget about Linux (and any other OS except the only one you are familiar with). If you are ready to learn new concepts and just don't want to remember numerous commands, that's OK, just pick up a distro with advanced DE and graphical admin tools.

What does an ordinary RHEL admin do when something does not work?

"Easy to use" means that you do less and get more. Learning doesn't count if you learn something once and then use the skills you obtained many times.

No, some piano plays are still harder than others, mo matter how long you practice. Editing text with vim is easier than with nano after some practice.
