GUI stands for Graphical User Interface. It is a programming technique that allows the user to visually interpret commanding the program driving the GUI. All versions of Windows are GUIs. Computer games are GUIs. This is opposed to text based user interfaces. DOS (Disk Operating System) was the first operating system for the AT style desktop computer. It presented itself to the user with a ">" prompt on the command line. The user typed in a DOS command and told the computer to execute the command by hitting the "Enter" key. The computer responded to the command with lines of ASCII text on the display. LINUX is a text based operating system. There are several different GUI layers that run on top of a LINUX based operating system.
