   I’m not “offended”, I just feel you’re missing out on taking the most   
   advantage of your computer -- even if you are primarily command-line-   
   oriented.

   OK, the early Raspberry Pi models found it a struggle to run a decent GUI,   
   but I don’t think that matters so much with current ones. Also you can run   
   a fairly lightweight GUI, out of the several choices available -- just   
   enough to run up multiple terminal emulator windows. Give it a try for a   
   few days, and see how much more productive you can be.
