Re: Options
On Linux I also add another Desktop, as logging in with a different one to fix a broken one is easier than CLI
I see no point to that, Desktops on linux have gotten so complex and intergrated, I find it easier to try deleting or moving all the setup files (and they are usually needlessly all over the place on /home) and logging in again (had to do it a couple of times when KDE5 was maturing).
Adequate CLI experience is worth it's weight ten times over versus 'another' desktop ui, when it comes to bug fixing. For Admin tasks, I prefer to reach for a term or the console, to me, UIs are for user work, somewhere inbetween, there are Window Managers (tiler for preference).
