Study Notes

Command Line Interface (CLI) Advantages

  • Flexibility and speed: CLI offers faster execution of commands and the ability to automate tasks using scripts.
  • Greater control: CLI provides more control over the system, allowing users to perform complex tasks with precision.
  • Resource efficiency: CLI is less resource-intensive compared to graphical user interfaces (GUI), making it a better option for older hardware.
  • Multi-tasking: CLI enables users to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, increasing productivity.
  • Customization: CLI offers extensive customization options, allowing users to tailor their experience to their needs.

GUI vs CLI in Linux

  • Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) are intuitive and user-friendly, relying on visual representations and mouse interactions.
  • Command Line Interfaces (CLI) rely on text-based commands and offer more control and flexibility.
