I am not sure how much easier Clonezilla can be. It walks you through every step, waits for answers and confirms what you want done.
Yes its easier if you know how, but it certainly is not hard.
As opposed to apple, which makes cloning an entire disk (including boot) a lot more challenging if not impossible now that they sign the system volume.
So in that regard, for a full disk image backup, Clonezilla (with linux or windows) is a lot easier.

How curious. I am now trying my first backup. There were extra steps and I think I did it correctly, but the web site inundated me with details in a way that Shirt Pocket did not do with SuperDuper. I haven’t used Mac OS regularly since about 2018, so I take you at your word that backing up isn’t as easy on Mac OS as it used to be. With any luck, this just works. There is room for a simpler and gentler introduction to this. Maybe I can publish one.
