   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.
