Or is that more of a stereotype, and there are some (maybe more?) out there using some form of graphical interfaces/web dashboards/etc.?

It’s struck me as interesting how when you look up info about managing servers that they primarily go through command-line interfaces/terminals/etc. It’s made me wonder how much of that’s preference and how much of it’s an absence of graphical interfaces.

    Depends on what I’m doing with it. I usually don’t really need to do anything particularly specific or complicated, so running everything off of a command line works for me. It’s more lightweight, and is less fiddly than having to set up a graphical remote desktop.

    If it’s something more complicated, or more difficult to automate, then not using the command line would make more sense.
