@MugsysRapSheet @ironicbadger I have the opposite experience. There's a learning curve, but I can usually find commands to debug and fix problems on my Linux boxes. For Windows, the internet is full of variants "try reinstalling".
And yes, I consider the CLI a boon in that regard. Even if I brick GUI login for some reason, I can proceed to fix.
Also, there will never be useful GUIs for rare problems. Plus, to be fair, niche OSS GUIs are usually not good, with notable exceptions.

@OmegaPolice @ironicbadger I have NEVER had to open the CMD Command window in Windows to fix a problem with the OS. I have to do this constantly in Linux. 😞
