I used a Linux terminal until I retired. Our mainframe was Redhat. I wrote scripts in a Windows editor and pasted it into vi. Same with crons.

11 years to retirement here...

I mostly work with MS servers and workstations, but even there... effective administration is easier if you install remote powershell and script certain functions.

I keep a few flavors of linux around for practice. Found the linux subsystem for Windows pretty much useless.

There are some things where a server operates much more efficiently WITHOUT a gui, but as for workstations... the end user would be lost without their point-n-click.
