I prefer adguard home, much better UI and updating it is easier…at least compared to last time I tried where i had to SSH in to the pi-hole to update it since it didn’t allow it through the web interface like adguard home does. Not a big issue, but still a little annoying compared to just doing it from the web interface.
Yeah I don’t think TUIs are a great way to interface with most things. It’s a needlessly outdated method and provides an unnecessary barrier to less technically inclined people, and when a GUI interface is present anyways it just kind of dumb. TUIs are slower to execute things with than GUI 99% of the time, and always less intuitive.
I hate this ridiculous nerd trope of loving TUIs, it’s getting old and over used.

This is, as you mentioned, true for “less technically inclined” people. But that doesn’t make TUIs “dumb” as those more used to terminals may find it faster and more convenient.
In the era of GUIs, it is easy to forget about terminals, but they are not an “old” thing. They are a tool, used every day by millions of people, for countless different purposes.
Many times, it is also the most straightforward interface between you and your computer.
I’m not yucking in their yum though, I’m clarifying why I have the opinion I have, because they said they were curious. The yucking is entirely your projections, I even start the response by stating it’s my opinion and not objective truth.
Anyone have any particularly good info about AdGuard re: Russia? My understanding is that the devs are Russian. Seems like they have set things up to explicitly be outside control of the regime, but it makes me worry without some ironclad info that it’s safe.

You make it sound like a chore instead of a delight. Curious.
Especially if you’ve set up key verification for SSH, you don’t even have to mess with a password.
Then it’s literally just

Maybe your opinionated assertion of what’s better ought to be recognized for what it is?
Your points are salient until you start yucking other people’s yum. The person you were responding to was obviously being good natured.
