From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For example, synaptic is a long running front end for apt that has the buttons for update and upgrade.
My idea is more to have (configurable) set of commands that you can run, where its results are received mostly as a text. In this way, you can interact via terminal more easily, I'd imagine.
so.... you invented hotkeys?
What are hotkeys?
a configurable set of commands with a keyboard shortcut attached to them.
...Keyboard shortcuts are not necessarily the solution.
the shortcuts usually are associated with a button or menu item that could be pressed.
Let's say ... like a ScratchJr but for terminal commands ...
You say that like it's a bad thing, but, scratch exists. Further, you have to face that the "infantile " UI is trendy.
Wasn't sarcastic at all! I do think the visual coding style can be an inspiration for cli also.
