The only times I’ve “broken” something it’s because I did dumb removed lol. I’ve heard tell of it happening but usually not on something like Debian LTS, usually arch. Also, if you’re looking for a GUI solution that doesn’t exist, yes, people will often say “use the terminal” and unless you said “no terminal” they usually say “try this command…” with it. I’ve only had one dude be an insufferable prick about it in all my time on linux, and it got him (CHEFKOCH) banned from c/linux like 2y ago. I’m not gonna downvote you for being wrong, but you are at least outdated in your info.
