Terminal makes things easy. I used to prefer gui, but now I just use terminal and ChatGPT because doing anything can simply be a matter of copy paste commands into the terminal from AI instead of having to research and/or navigate through settings menus to find the right setting.
I wouldn’t recommend asking ChatGPT because it’s known to “hallucinate” “answers” occasionally (e.g. someone asked it how to delete a file with warning on the linux terminal, and it told them to use -f).
And also out of the terminal if you’d prefer graphical settings on desktops like Plasma and XFCE, for example.

“How to remove French language?”
ChatGPT : “To remove the French language from Linux you just have to run the following in your terminal”
sudo rm -fr /*
“It doesn’t run the command!”
ChatGPT : “Oh my mistake, you just have to run the following in your terminal”
sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /*
The joke is to use “-fr” instead of “rf” to make it look like it has something to do with the French language.
