Of course, Linux is not Windows. But that does not imply GUI means Windows. In fact, GUI was invented by Xerox for a Unix-like OS. Then Apple bought it from them and made Macintosh, then Bill stole it from Apple to build Windows.
Using GUI on Linux or on any Unix is not harmful. You know, Mac is known as the sexiest desktop ever just for it's look and amazing Aqua. Mac OS X is a certified UNIX(TM). You can run every piece of CLI in Mac OS X. I advocate for Linux for various reasons. One of them is to have a friendly computing environment so that I can share all my computing needs, including software, data, music, video and what not, with my friends and the world. I don't want to get a wmv file from my friend which I cannot play on my machine. I don't want to send an .odt file to my friend who does not know how to open them in Windows. And I definitely don't want to get a .docx file which I cannot modify on my Linux. Also, as I am a permanent user of Mac/Ubuntu. My friends and colleagues think, I am a geek or computer savvy. So whenever their Windows fail, they run to me and ask for the solution. When I tell them I don't know how to solve this Windows problem, they just stare at me and tell me, "How come you not know this? You use Linux!" The thing is using Linux does not make anyone a geek. And using Windows does not make anyone dumb. -- M.
