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.
