I've noticed this problem as well, as a Linux novice. I stick mostly to GUIs, but a few times I've had to figure out the command line equivalent for whatever I'm trying to do because the gui program would just close and provide no further feedback. Then I get to the same step in the command line and it gives me a whole paragraph of explanation about why it failed and how I can fix it. This info should've been available in the gui version, maybe like a popup error message in windows
