Discussion on "Terminal, Console, CLI, shell... Aren't they all the same thing?"

Nice breakdown of the different terms. I learnt something new today. 😊

Whoo! That's always a welcome comment. Glad to hear it :)

Awesome, distinctly explained.

This was very interesting! I always thought there was something more than the names but never ventured far enough to read more about them.

Thanks! Adrienne Tacke!

I thought the same thing. So interesting to know the history behind it :)

Thanks for taking the time to read!

You have written in a way that people from non-computer-science background can also understand! Thanks Adrienne

I appreciate your comment so much, Anna! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing, now I know the differences

No problem! I still refer back to this every now and then :p

Yes, I also bookmarked the article so I'll easily find it later on Adrienne Tacke

Thanks for the breakdown. I just took an 8 hour intro to Linux and the two Linux-heads I know already got around to telling me I'm not calling the command prompt the proper thing.

No problem! And don't let them make you feel bad, a lot of terms can mean different things in different environments and to different people.

They all stemmed from these roots, though, so I'm glad you found the breakdown useful!
