No, two reasons:

1:A PC comes with either MacOS or Windows. You really have to hunt to find one with no OS, or pre-installed Linux.

2:Certain companies dominating payroll, accounts, stock control or other business things don't do Linux versions. Some don't do MacOS either.

You need the Terminal / Console for loads of things on Windows. More as time goes by as some versions of Windows 10 the local account creation is gone and you have to use the console.
