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'm just faster in the terminal than a gui
There's no way that's true unless the GUI is straight garbage.
I can type at 100wpm, its a lot faster do just run a couple of programs than open a heavy gui program and try to find the correct button to type.
I don't care how fast you can type, you can't type faster than I can click.
If the GUI takes any time to load at all, it's garbage.
That's where alises and script's come in, I can make a 20 click's process in a gui be a single character command in the terminal.
If you can make it a single command in the terminal then you can make it a single click in a GUI and the GUI still wins...
for that I need to know gui codding and code the program it self, in terminal I just tie a few commands together and be done with it.
That's unfortunate for you but really besides the point.
