I recently decided to replace the SD card in my Raspberry Pi and reinstall the system. Without any special backups in place, I turned to rsync to duplicate /var/lib/docker with all my containers, including Nextcloud.

This is on me for sure that I’ve never seen anyone be faster using a CLI compared to a GUI especially for basic operations which is what most of us do 95% of the time. I know there are specific cases where a command just does it better/easier but for me that’s not the case for everyday stuff.
But what about the movies where the actors are typing commands and a visual GUI is moving around and updating on the screen (and making sound effects too).

Guardrails are absolutely not a reason why people prefer the CLI. We want the guardrails off so we can go faster.
