From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think I wouldn't find it particularly useful, as I'm used to the quasi-programming I can do in a terminal. The shell commands take some time & effort to learn, but once you're over that hump, being able to extract and compose information is really good. The primary shell tools I'd miss in a gui are
|,jq,awk,sedandgrep/rg, as well asfor,if,while, variables, and having everything in one lightweight window.
