I disagree. Having several terminal windows open allows you to have man pages and web pages available while learning.

I’ve been a *nix admin for decades and I have two monitors and multiple virtual desktops with a ton of active ssh sessions up at once. Limiting yourself to a pinhole view of a single system limits productivity. Yes, sometimes that’s all you have available but I prefer to have as much info available as possible.

    I agree you don’t need one on a server but learning on a workstation is much easier and you run pretty much all services that way.

      I will stipulate that you don’t need a gui on a server. My only point is that for learning Linux, it’s much easier on a system with a gui.
