I don’t speak the language. Everything is hidden, unless you know the words that invoke the desired effect. Eg. sudo apt update or the like. Also, plenty of room for error, even if you do have some idea what you’re doing. With a GUI, the user can at least fumble around through menus to find the desired action.
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.
Yeah, those of us who’ve gotten familiar with the terminal often forget that it generally lacks discoverability and getting to the point of knowing how to find things in it can be painful and annoying.
Not enjoying the terminal isn’t a failing. GUIs exist for a reason.

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.
