Thanks, but not really the intent of the question.
I know that any distro will *allow* one to operate exclusively in CL mode.
The question in my mind relates to: to what extent do different distros
*oblige* you to become good at CLI.
As I say in my original post: Slackware encourages one to learn it, because
of the absence of a graphical package installer.
Whereas Mint and ubuntu positively discourage it, since they have tried to
make themselves as much like windows as possible, with everything just a
click and drag away.
I turned to linux for, among other things, the chance to learn the art of CL
micro-computing. I got Slackware for that reason, installed on one of my
drives, but the learning curve there was too steep so I reverted to Mint
while I learn the shell commands.
finally, I guess I was just interested in the average trisquel user's opinion
about CLI versus GUI, also to know their experience and practice with regard
to same.
Cheers,
Tex
