Hello noobs! I’ll let you in on a secret. Pros use command line interface (CLI) both on Linux and on Windows for a lot of tasks. You know why? Because it’s easier. Be like the pros, choose the easy path, use CLI!

I use Bash and PowerShell often, and I’m fairly proficient in both. I also use a GUI in both Linux and windows as well.

Although, I might just be insane.

Same here. I didn’t imply that we only use CLI. Simply that for a lot of tasks CLIs are easier than GUIs. And therefore the CLI aversion is something to shed. The reverse is also true for other tasks too. Windows has historically put many tasks easier achieved via CLI behind a GUI. You wouldn’t see me dead playing videos via CLI. I’d launch Plex, search and play instead. 🥲

Also if you meet a pro they will be happy to walk you through the GUI (if available) or CLI depending on what you feel comfortable with.

Depending on the time availability of that pro. Sometimes I have the time to tailor to the needy’s sensibilities. Other times all I can do spit out what I have whether it’s GUI or CLI, take it or leave it.
