"New Ubuntu desktop users should not be directed to open a terminal and
type sudo commands at all"

How are you going to enforce that exactly? There are hundreds or
thousands of online tutorials for Ubuntu desktop installations that
involve copying and pasting commands into the terminal. And that is also
the method used at least half the time on the Ubuntu Forums to give help
to new users.

You can argue all you want that in theory desktop users should be using
graphical tools for everything, but that isn't the reality.
