    No you don’t. OP just chose a bad example.

    It’s not been that long since I last used Linux, but when I did, I had to type a command in the terminal to change screen brightness (kubuntu)

          To be honest, I’d have no idea how to change screen brightness in Windows at all.
          I either do it with function keys on the keyboard (on a laptop), or the monitor itself (on a desktop).

              Well, it’s also worked in Plasma on every PC I used so far.
              So this isn’t a case of “You need the console for everything in Linux” but rather “Something doesn’t work on your system”.
              Which can happen on any OS.
