"When many think about Linux, they think of awkward and complicated commands that are far beyond the reach of new users. What those people may not know is that modern Linux distributions don't require that they work with the command line. But to get to the real power of Linux, the command line is something people should at least understand, because eventually, it might be needed."
"The terminal is actually an app, such as GNOME Terminal, KDE Plasma's Konsole, iTerm2, and many others. But what is the shell? Simply put, the shell is a command-line interpreter that acts as an intermediary between the user and the Linux kernel. The prompt is where you type your commands, and is generally displayed like this: CLI stands for Command Line Interface and is a bit of a mystery to most because it's hard to define. Typically, the CLI is where you run commands."
Modern Linux distributions do not require users to use the command line, but the shell provides deeper system control and flexibility. The terminal is an application (for example, GNOME Terminal, Konsole, or iTerm2) that hosts the shell, while the shell is a command-line interpreter that intermediates between the user and the Linux kernel. The prompt is the place to enter commands. CLI (Command Line Interface) reflects the combined terminal, shell, and prompt where commands execute. The shell records a history of commands; using history shows recent commands and !N recalls a command by its history number. Learning these fundamentals applies across distributions.
