Thread: Command line vs. GUI in Linux

I am having Linux operating system installed on my computer. Currently I am using GUI interface. Want to use Command line interface. Before using command line I want to know about the difference between Command line and GUI in Linux. If you are having any suggestions then reply me. It can helpful to me.

Refer following difference between Command line and GUI in Linux:

Command line:

• Users have much more control of their file system and OS in a command line interface.

• A PC that is only using the command line takes a lot less of the systems resources.

• A command line interface allows a user to simply script a series of commands to perform a task or execute a program.

GUI:

• GUI gives many of control of a file system and OS often advance users or users who require doing exact task may require resorting to a command line to complete that task.

• A GUI will want different system resources due of each of the elements that require being loaded such as icons, fonts, etc.

• GUI allows a user to make shortcuts, tasks, or other similar actions to complete a task or run a program.
