The Linux GUI is an abstraction of the terminal. Unlike PowerShell, the terminal can completely manipulate the OS.
Prompt
The prompt can be customized and receives input
The prompt corban@cyber:~$ shows that there is a user account “corban”, the hostname is “cyber”, and the current directory is the home folder (”~”).
If the prompt is run as root, the ”$” typically becomes ”#”, as in corban@cyber:~#
Shell
The shell runs the programs. The most common is bash.
Bash stands for Bourne Again Shell, and the default path is /bin/bash
