Both.

As above, must be both. GUI for convenience of simple operations, terminal for levels of control not otherwise possible.

GUI for browser but cli using screen for everything else.

GUI for me every time. I use the terminal if it is the only way.

have fun

Most of the time, when I'm working at the command line, it's through a GUI app, usually a terminal emulator. And I'm copying and pasting between different terminal windows and email clients and web pages with documentation, so the facilities of the desktop environment are very much relevant.

My first encounter with Unix, around 1989, was a shared system running X Windows, and people were freely using xterm.

I do just about everything through a terminal and Emacs, even for personal stuff. I guess that counts as both.

Sadly using the command line terminal is at a state that Assembler language and Stick shift transmissions are. Almost but not quite all gone.
Personally I love them both stick shift cars and programming in assembler (over 20 years now) but terminal window commands, and assembler language programming will be 99% gone in the next five years In My Opinion. How many of you can write or even read assembler programs?
How many can drive a Stick shift car or truck?
So as I said, sadly a new paridigm "The GUI" seems to be the future. Yes there will always be a few of us who like to play in the Terminal like writing and running some some scripts etc. But lets face it, how many Linux or Windows jobs are out there for Assembler language programmers or Linux Terminal Command gurus? Close to zero. Even the kernal is 99% written in C or some variation of it now. I think the closest we will see to it in the future is maybe some Network/ Server Gurus. Just like programmers who love to code use Vi or Vim most are in their 60's+ and by todays standards Vi, and Vim are Stoneage code editors.

I agree with this. But other than problem solving, the terminal is a great way to learn the inner workings of Linux.

Nineteen year old here who uses vim, vi and ed(1) for everything from assembly to web development.
I only use a GUI editor if I am using special characters that my terminal doesn't support, and then very reluctantly.
I started out on IDEs, but left them for command line. vi may be stoneage, but it is rock solid reliable.
Maybe that puts me more in the Terminal camp, though I said both.

Sadly, I do not yet know how to use a stick shift, but I do want to learn.

Whichever is more convenient.

I personally prefer the GUI experience; however, that said, I do understand that, for certain "housekeeping" chores, the terminal method is required. While I'm NOT a Linux guru, I AM familiar with the basic "housekeeping" commands, and so far, my Linux Mint 20.1 laptop is running just fine, thank you.

It depends on what I'm doing.

I prefer the terminal for maintenance (software installation and updates, etc.), writing text files, and the like. (I am not a coder--the closest I'm come to coding is a few simple BASH scripts.)

If I have to write, say, a letter to the editor or manage a spread sheet, I use a GUI office suite. I normally use a GUI browser, but sometimes I use w3m.

I checked GUI desktop, but I often use a terminal window on the desktop.

I prefer the terminal. It's less visual, true, but I get things done more easily with it.
I will, however, use the gui for web browsing, Office apps, etc.
