I do too! Most of us do to some extent. If I can right click on a network icon in my taskbar and get an IP, that’s cake!
But then, it doesn’t work on my friends box, and it’s no there after an update, and when I search for how to do it all I see is the way it used to work or i’m told it’s somewhere that doesn’t even seem to exist.
Gui’s change, vendor to vendor, update to update, they’re poorly documented, and have the most chance of being wrong or missing features.
Use your GUI’s as long as they give you what you need, but learn your CLI, because it almost never changes, is well documented and works for you and all your new friends that have abandoned windows no matter which linuxy way they went.
