You can see the characters in the terminal what more do you want?
This is only Arch by the way. Most distros have pretty good forums
Hello noobs! I'll let you in on a secret. Pros use command line interface (CLI) both on Linux and on Windows for a lot of tasks. You know why? Because it's easier. Be like the pros, choose the easy path, use CLI!
Also if you meet a pro they will be happy to walk you through the GUI (if available) or CLI depending on what you feel comfortable with.
Depending on the time availability of that pro. Sometimes I have the time to tailor to the needy's sensibilities. Other times all I can do spit out what I have whether it's GUI or CLI, take it or leave it.
I use Bash and PowerShell often, and I'm fairly proficient in both. I also use a GUI in both Linux and windows as well.
Although, I might just be insane.

Forget gui, I just want to git clone something and then type the name of the application I cloned into a command and have it run. None of this infinite searching for dependencies that didn't get installed with the initial run dependency installer.
I use Arch btw, and we don't have this kind of problems usually. Everything is in the repo, all the dependancies are accounted for. Or if not, they are in the repo.
I use Arch btw.
Honestly having such easy access to cli tools is very nice for when you want to work on a machine that doesn’t have a gpu
