I don't see why AI agents need to use the GUI very much? If anything, all the major advances with AI agents have been in CLI domains that Linux is perfectly well adapted to. Besides, surely AI agents could just contribute code allowing them to use Linux, no?

Because there is a world of software out there that isn't CLI-based and much of it may never be updated to expose LLM-friendly APIs.

Of course, but how many of those are really relevant for AI agents/couldn't be done through another means.

[neilalexander]

It matters if it's relevant to the person asking the AI agent for help with what they're doing with the software that they already have.
