by default linux/gnu wasn't made to come with a GUI... so relaying on that
solely is going to cause problems in the long run. Especially when alot of
the fixes and more advanced commands for linux will all require command
line.. and not be accessed via the GUI.. so having no CLI knowledge at all
is just bad practice when using linux.. in windows you never need to touch
the command windows.. in linux you have to every so often for a fix or to
add a driver manually or install a program.. but not everything will be
accessible via a GUI...

Dave,
Am I missing something?
As a beginner to Linux, why do I need to learn to use a terminal-based
text editor?
In the past whenever I needed to create or modify a text file, I would
just use my familiar word processor
and save my work in .txt to be copied wherever it was needed, be it to a
database, software programming, etc

Editor [Beginner’s Guide]
Nano <https://www.nano-editor.org/> is the default terminal-based text
editor <https://itsfoss.com/command-line-text-editors-linux/> in Ubuntu
and many other Linux distributions. Though it is less complicated to use
than the likes of Vim <https://www.vim.org/> and Emacs
<https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/>, it doesn’t mean Nano cannot be
overwhelming to use.
In this beginner’s guide, I’ll show you how to use the Nano text editor. I
am also going to include a downloadable PDF cheat sheet at the end of the
article so that you can refer to it for practicing and mastering Nano
editor commands.
If you are just interested in a quick summary of Nano keyboard shortcuts,
please expand the next section.
