        No, it’s the general term, as opposed to GUI (graphical user interface). Linux Shell, Windows command prompt and Powershell are all CLI

        Windows Command Prompt/Powershell is a CLI, Linux’s is called Terminal

        Command Line Interface - an interface method to your computer using lines of text

          Huh. Never realized that. I’ve only ever heard Linux users call it CLI, so I just assumed it was what most Linux users called the Terminal. And I assumed Terminal was the generic name since Mac also has a Terminal app.

          Also, side note: it’s called Terminal on Windows now, too. Windows unified their Powershell and Command Prompt programs into a single app (on the surface, at least). You can open either Powershell or Command Prompt using tabs in the app.

      It’s an abbreviation for Command Line Interface To Objects Residing In System. A lot of male programmers can’t find it.

      I had to learn cli and server linuxes as part of uni but i haven’t used them for my fedora other than nvidia drivers and things windows users need to install putty and winscp for. It’s nice.
