Here Are Some More Reasons Why It's So Important To Learn How To Use Linux Commands:

You Can Learn Linux Commands to System Administration for All Linux Distributions at Once

If your career goal is to learn how to do Linux system administration, then you'll find that when you learn how to use Linux commands, you're learning how to use Linux - for

ALL Linux distributions at once.

Linux System Administration Is Done With Linux Commands - GUI Utilities Are Too Slow!

Because Linux commands are the fast and easy way to do Linux system administration tasks, they are by far and away the preferred method of doing Linux system administration (as opposed to using a "specialized" GUI utility).

Linux Training Tips: The popular and commonly used GNU / Linux commands may be trickier to learn (at first) than using a "point-and-click" GUI utility, but once you learn them you will be able to work much faster and you will be in demand!

Why go to the extent of learning the steps to work in one GUI utility (for one distro) and then have to learn a completely different set of steps to do the same thing in a different GUI utility (for a different distro)?

Keep this in mind: Many organizations use several Linux distros for various Linux server and workstation purposes.

They may use one distro for one type of server or workstation and a different distro for a different type of server or workstation. Or, they may have gotten one Linux distro for a task several years ago (and it's not worth it to change to a new server) - and then they got a better distro more recently for the same task - or for a different task.

Linux Commands Are Much Faster and More Powerful Than Linux GUI Utilities

Many Linux distributions include "point-and-click" GUI utilities that allow you to do the equivalent of Linux commands, but these are very slow and cumbersome to use.

In contrast, you can very quickly run a single Linux command to do the slow and cumbersome equivalent of: starting and running a Linux GUI utility - and then clicking about ten times to do the same thing.

Linux commands are virtually identical from one Linux distribution (a.k.a. version, distro) to another. So when you learn a command in one Linux distribution, it works the same in all Linux distributions!

Linux Training Tips: In all reference to Linux commands, we are referring to the very popular Linux commands (a.k.a. GNU / Linux commands) that are common to all Linux distributions.

This includes the commonly used essential Linux commands that are required for Linux system administration, like: ls, mkdir, cp, adduser, passwd, mv, cd and pwd.
