    Do you mind sharing what you use the terminal for? There is usually a gui to do most things these days.

    I also only know basic commands. ChatGPT is pretty good that, so it is my first stop if I need something complex.

      Whenver the desred action is not evident in the GUI, I use teminal and have Chat translate it into Linuxese. Terminal is GPT’s goto, 4sure. It is apparent that terminal is much more elegant, if you speak the language. Fumbling around in a GUI must feel so clumsey to a master.

        I find that I don’t use it much after I do my initial setup.

        Mainly I use it when doing server admin stuff, but for my personal computer, I use it to update and install apps for the most part.
