    This is a bit of a pointless question. Also, not quite making sense… because ‘workflow’ can mean absolutely anything.

    I enjoy using Dolphin (KDE) because I have a terminal window at the bottom (F4 toggles it) which is tied to the GUI - so if I do ‘zi’ to jump to one of my video, or document folders, then the GUI follows… best of both worlds… and it means I can manage almost as well without the GUI, though not quite so well without the terminal.

    You should aim to do things the most efficient way, without predetermined ideas about whether to use GUI or terminal. I use terminal to listen to radio, but not to edit pictures or videos.

    When you get to your desktop, certainly start with a terminal open… I like Kitty - easy tabbing and splitting means I can do tons of stuff in the one window.

    You learn by using, researching, and learning. That’s how you can get better. You can also do a lot by trying different shells - for example, I run Konsole (with ZSH) and Kitty with FISH - so they’re quite different to use, and each has benefits.
