Am I one of the few remaining original Linux users who still uses the command line to update and manage their systems?

Seen some posts this morning of people using GUI's to upgrade their Fedora's to F26.

    I use the CLI as much as I can:

    1. GUIs tend to be nothing more than a wrapper around CLIs, so they usually have less features or options.
    2. It's pretty hard to use GUIs for scripting.
    3. My servers don't have a GUI. So by using the CLI I can reuse commands on all my machines.

          I use the Ubuntu GUI app for updates. There are some actions where it's easier to use the command line, e.g. lots of specific parameters, but I'll use a GUI when it's easier. You generally can get some feedback of what's going on

            I think I've only ever used Synaptic, oh and Yast. But that was like 10 years ago?

              It has been a few years since i've used fedora, but I work from the command line almost exclusively. Once you get comfortable from the command line, everything gets done faster than with a mouse/gui.

                  I prefer debian-based distros. Currently running ubunu mini. I used to run Fedora as a daily driver, so i am still fond of it.

                    I've used most of them. I had a massive love affair with Arch Linux for about three years but came back into the Red Hat / Fedora fold a couple of years ago. Having said that, I run Ubuntu on my main box at home.
