Best Answer

Assuming you have a properly configured .xinitrc file, the command is startx.

However, if you want a full login screen and everything you'll need to look into how your distribution launches daemons and install a display manager.

What does each runlevel in Linux do?

"Run Levels" in Linux are different startup or shutdown settings that can be used at any time to force Linux into a given state using the "init" command. Level 0 forces a total system shutdown. Level 1 switches to "maintanance mode" and only allows the system administrator to log in. This is about the same as Windows "safe mode with command prompt". Levels 2 and 5 can be defined differently, depending on what version of Linux you are using. Typically, one of these is set to start the graphical user interface, another to start only the command line, and so on. The exact results, again, always depends on what version of Linux is used. Level 6 forces the system to reboot. It should be helpful to note that runlevels are not in every Linux system. Systemd-based setups do not have runlevels. The closest they have are "targets," though these are not completely analogous to runlevels.

Is unix a graphical user interface?

No, its an operation system. But many GUIs have been written to run on unix. Unix is not a graphical user interface (GUI). It is an operating system that originally did not have a graphic interface and still does not have a GUI interface as part of the system. The standard user interface in UNIX is a command line as in a terminal session, similar to a windows command line interface. Various graphic user interfaces are available for the unix and linux platform. Nearly all are based on the X Windows System (or X or X11 for version 11). X is a system for describing via API (program calls) and tables all the parts of a GUI including window attributes, position, boundaries, menus, mouse/pointer and input support. Nearly all unix/linux implementations as well as some other systems use X to create the windowing environment from the simple TWM (Tab Windows Manager) to DecWindows, Motif, CDE (Common Desktop Environment), to Gnome, KDE, xfc, and many more. It wasn't just a GUI environment for a computer. It was a client/server environment that allowed remote control of a machine from elsewhere on a network or the internet. The commands to start the windowing environment on your machine also allowed you to specify that all the graphic display output generated on your machine from your session (the client) should be sent to another machine running an X windows Server.
