Linux on the desktop almost never needs CLI interaction though. Maybe you'll need to copy/paste a command from the internet to fix some sketchy hardware, but almost everything works OOTB these days.
However, self-hosting isn't a desktop Linux thing, it's a server Linux thing. You can host it on your desktop, but as soon as you do anything remotely server-related, CLI familiarity is pretty much essential.
That depends on your use case for desktop linux of course. For me, yabridge is the tool I needed to run VSTs on Linux. Its CLI only as far as I know.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not afraid of the CLI. Its just some tools are assuming the end user is a server admin or someone with deeper than the upper crust knowledge of how Linux works.
Ah, that's a pretty niche use-case. But yeah, the deeper you go, the more you'll have to rely on the CLI.
I always update via CLI 'cause most GUI tools are slow and buggy, so...
I do too, but the GUI tools do work.
