Not necessary for most setups, since most people tend to just leave their laptops plugged in. Even then, it's generally fine, I get comparable battery life between Windows and Linux on my laptop, and that's without any tweaks.
And yeah, some things may be easier to do with the command-line, but very few things need command-line config. You'd only really need it if you're doing something exotic or using really crappy hardware.
The average user just needs a browser and maybe Steam. Linux does both of those things incredibly well, so it's absolutely ready for the average user. It may not be suitable for the average Windows power-user, and it struggles in some niches. But for your average user, it pretty much works out of the box.
