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!

The apps just fail and crash randomly, any linux users cannot entirely rely on them. Well, I guess linux is destined for 2% of desktop users, who can use terminal on a daily basis, and current rise is just a fluke.
Dunno what you’re talking about. Most people I’ve seen who have made the switch just go learn how to use the terminal. You’ll have to eventually, since many people have use cases that fall outside the sane defaults of whatever distro you chose, and there’s tons of videos, online communities, and written tutorials to help.
The rest know somebody who can help or just want a system that can do whatever defaults it’s been set up to do out of the box (e.g. open pictures, use a web browser, play Steam games, etc.).
