• Enables direct interaction with the system through typed commands, providing granular control over processes.
• Supports automation through scripting, allowing repetitive tasks to be streamlined and executed efficiently.
• Lightweight and resource-efficient, requiring minimal system overhead compared to graphical interfaces.
• Accessible remotely via SSH (Secure Shell) for managing systems across networks.
• Provides a rich set of utilities and commands for developers, system administrators, and power users.
