I much prefer using the terminal than the GUI if I can.

But I understand that not everyone likes the terminal.

To be fair, I couldn't tell you how to run my file manager as root from the GUI because I don't use it that much.

    Which is great for the people who have the time to invest to know how to use a computer via the terminal, I used to be one of those people, now I have had various full time jobs that don't use computers for nearly a decade since then though and I don't want to do much with terminal anymore (it took me like 10 minutes to remember 'top') It's hard to take a polished, user friendly OS seriously when I couldn't access the NTFS windows backup partition on my laptop without using terminal, because they needed elevated permissions to see because they were, naturallly, created by another user. I legitimately couldn't just open the file manager as root to copy and paste my files into the new root partition without thinking about it. Ridiculous hand holding clunkiness.
