I understand the usefulness of the terminal and how universal it is for troubleshooting across distros. But can’t there be a way to make a nice graphical tool for the various admin level tasks that need to be performed?

Edit: Thank you to the outpouring of feedback on this. It has greatly opened my eyes to how much I don’t know about. I did see a couple suggestions though, so I’ll be sure to check them out.

    There aren’t many because there is no request (“market”, if you will) for them.

    OpenSUSE has Yast which might be what you are looking for (“might” because, despite using tumbleweed, I never used it and I even actually uninstalled it).

      I always recommend opensuse for ex-windows admins because it’s stable, long term version (don’t need to move to a rolling model that tends to confuse people), but most importantly YaST. It’s a big ol do everything GUI for managing the system
