Having TUIs available for remote administration is an excellent point. I frequently spin up nmtui on machines with NetworkManager because I’m used to Ubuntu’s network settings GUI and I haven’t bothered to learn enough nmcli.

(“real” deployments would use systemd-networkd and config files but for simple things…who cares)

No matter how good computers and networking get, text-based tools always seem to win for remote administration. I’ve tried forwarding X servers, mounting remote file systems with sshfs, vscode’s remote features, VNC, RDP, but I always seem to revert back to just tmux and TUI tools.
