    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.

      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.
