I understand the usefulness of the terminal and how universal it is for troubleshooting across distros. But can’t there be a way to make a nice graphical tool for the various admin level tasks that need to be performed?
Edit: Thank you to the outpouring of feedback on this. It has greatly opened my eyes to how much I don’t know about. I did see a couple suggestions though, so I’ll be sure to check them out.
Windows users always come to Linux and complain about what they are missing way before they understand what they have gained.
Window users come here fed up that Windows 11 is still using MMC from the NT4 days, or that there are 5,000 piece of legacy cruft from years and years of different GUI toolkits or that X doesn’t work exactly like Y did in Windows even though they hate Y.
It’s just a natural maturation process.
I’m not going to say I don’t belong in this classification, because I sure do. But to be fair it is hard for a long time Windows user to come over to Linux and not make certain comparisons and look for familiar features. Also trying to learn lots of CLI functions and habits when your whole life has been GUI based for years is also a big change.
I’m trying.
