thing with terminal is you don't need to memorize commands, syntax and options. If you do it's poor design. Good code lets you find things you didn't know you were looking for intuitively, without external resources or manual. Gui requires you to know what exactly you are doing and is impossible to use without external resources. Nothing against gui but unless you know what you are doing and every click required to complete that action, it's ass. If term was so bad and gui was so good, terminals would not be used by anyone.

I mean you dont go around copy pasting device ids and running buttons for 20 minutes to connect your device through gui when it is done with 2 commands in the term even by someone who has never used a pc before.

Ftfy buddy

    man genfstab gave an error? Neither CLI nor GUI is gonna help with simply not having something installed that the guide assumed.
