If you figure out how to do something in the terminal, you’ve got an 80% chance of that technique still working in a decade. If you learn how to do it in the GUI, your chances in a decade are more like 10%.
Agreed. I tried to avoid using virt-manager for my vm’s… I get that it is more powerful from terminal, but man is it a lot of information to learn how to communicate.
System management utilities should have a GUI, or at least a web UI. I have a really hard time remembering the specific commands to look at my docker instance and overall system health… There’s absolutely no reason to not have that all in one dashboard.
In my opinion some tasks are better from the terminal some tasks are better from the GUI
