I understand the usefulness of the terminal and how universal it is for troubleshooting across distros. But can’t there be a way to make a nice graphical tool for the various admin level tasks that need to be performed?

Edit: Thank you to the outpouring of feedback on this. It has greatly opened my eyes to how much I don’t know about. I did see a couple suggestions though, so I’ll be sure to check them out.

      cockpit is absolutely insane for doing a lot of the more “andvanced” tasks graphically, but it’s still lacking in a lot of regards and it works best on headless servers to spin up some VMs or do basic sysadmin stuff as that’s it’s intended use case. the big issue is that if power users come from windows, they expect these tools to be there or be able to install them and the only tools we do ave are CLI-only.
