I know that GUI does not cover most of functionalities, for good reasons - being specialized to task (like files app), it provides more fine-grained experience.
Yet, I find that there are common commands which is terminal-only, or not faithfully implemented. for instance,
- Commands like
apt update/apt upgrademight be needed, as GUI may not allow enough interactions with it. - I heard some immutable distros require running commands for rollbacks.
These could cause some annoyance for those who want to avoid terminal unless necessary (including me). Hence, I bet there are terminal emulators which restricts what commands you could run, and above all, present them as buttons. This will make you recall the commonly used commands, and run them accordingly. Is there projects similar to what I describe? Thanks!
I think it would be very awkward, because then you need to look for the right button, move your mouse to it, click it, and then start looking for the next button, click it and so on.
For simple scenarios where you just need to click install, the gui can be great, but I think it’s not good enough for most commands with flags and options.
Hmmm, good point. Maybe it is impossible to do this correctly.
