Sure... but, I’ve got decades of experience doing that stuff, just not frequently enough to keep it in my head, these days. I usually want a small project server to just do shit and the less there is between that and booting up a fresh Linux install, the better. For example, I don’t keep firewall command line syntax in my head, but I know what needs to be done, and I always seem to need it with small home projects. I lose nothing by having a trustworthy gui do it. I’d give this a shot. I doubt I’d use it in a professional environment, but that’s not really my use case these days.

Which goes to show, experience and maturity changes how people use tools. The person I was responding to was at an earlier maturity stage and realized it was hampering their growth

I am more of a TUI person anyways. I have never found web based server management to be as responsive as TUI, same reason I prefer direct attaching than live tailing on a web tool.

I configure my router through a web interface and not the command line either. It isn’t something I want to mess with on my downtime.
