It may be easier, but as someone who uses Linux to make money in the
audio area, it may well not produce the results you are looking for. A
lot of Linux GUI apps do a bad job of copying complicated CDs due to
hidden tracks and sub-channel data. You're mileage may very.

Please review your original post. All you stated was a desire to stay
away from libraries. If issues about non-technical people were
important to you then you might have stated that up front.
