    Uploaded by

    Hoàng Minh Thắng
    This document provides information about operating systems with different user interfaces. It defines and compares operating systems with a Command Line Interface (CLI) versus those with a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The key differences between CLI and GUI operating systems are described, including the benefits and drawbacks of each type of interface. Users are asked to match different elements of the Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointer (WIMP) graphical user interface model with their definitions. Finally, reasons why GUIs may be easier to learn and use compared to CLIs are discussed.

    GUI Vs CLI

    1) Why is it easier to learn to use a GUI interface?


    because commands do not need to be memorized. Additionally, users do not need to know any
    programming languages.
    2) Give one example of a GUI interface and one feature that you like?
    Microsoft Windows, macOS, Ubuntu Unity, the view

    3) Why would you not recommend a user to use a CLI interface?


    A steep learning curve, small room for error, the large number of commands and the inability
    to figure something out through exploration.

    4) Who do you think would use a CLI interface and give one reason?
    CLI is still used by software developers and system administrators to configure computers, install
    software, and access features that are not available in the graphical interface.
