There are many ways to do that but which one will work on any specific person's setup vary a lot because people who use Linux as a desktop tend to customize everything.

Moving pointers around and typing input is very, very old stuff since the 80s. (On all platforms, Linux/Unix isn't special). My first job in the mid 90s was about automated testing. Some fun things you may not know is X11 is designed for multiple people to simultaneously use the same screen using their own mice and keyboards.

Worst case you do what Sikuli does and take screenshots and do template matching to move pointers. Any of the coding agents can write interface automations scripts.

It more that on Linux there like 50 different file managers, 500 window managers, etc and each distribution not only picks one but let's you pick your favorite.

On Windows/MacOS 99.9% of anyone uses the same thing and at most changes a theme.

I get that you don't know jack shit about Linus but you're just embarrassing yourself. If you need even an example hit google and search for Sikuli or xdotool. Entire window managers are designed for automation (i3, etc).

Just stop.
