Terminal Vs GUI

Ques ) Most frequent task that you perform is?

Ans. - Browsing,

- Creating Files,

- Moving Files,

- And Deleting Files.

Most of the user perform only these operation on their systems.There's are the most common task performed frequently by the users on their computers.

There are two ways to perform...

1 - CLI (Command Line Interface)

2- GUI (Graphical user interface)

Benefits to use CLI:

1) Commands are flexible and offer more options.

2) Perform more with just one command.

Eg – A new user account takes 4 to 5 steps to create while in CLI mode, it just takes a command

“sudo usermod - a - G home somesh”

3) Work on multiple files at a time.

Eg – if you thinking to move 1000 of files it can take hours using GUI mode, whereas the same task performed using CLI mode take some seconds only.

4) CLI loads fast and doesn't consume ram compared to GUI.
Therefore it does not affect system speed.

Note – It is very imported when the server is down.

GUI is IMPORTANT too:

Ø Performance graph view

Ø Editing image and video’s

Ø Creating sketches
