The term "command line interface' is not actually used to describe an operating system, but a type of shell around an operating system.
A command line interface is an interface in which you enter commands, arguments and parameters as your primary method of running programs or doing work.
Depending on the operating system, the CLI may be the primary method of interfacing with the operating system.
Linux (And most Unix/Unix-like systems.) can be primarily CLI driven or GUI driven, since shells are treated as just another application in those systems.

∙ 8y agoA "command line" operating system is one in which the user types in commands to the computer. If the command is not in a recognized and accepted format or "syntax", the command will not be run as desired. A GUI, or "Graphical User Interface", allows the user to interact with the computer by using a pointing device such as a mouse or touchpad, and give commands by clicking on specific icons or pictures.
Examples of a command line interface ("CLI") would be the Unix or Linux "shell", or the Microsoft or Apple "DOS" Disk Operating Systems.
A GUI is a program such as the Macintosh interface, any of the various versions of Windows, or many Linux GUIs such as Ubuntu or KDE.
