Whether you like or not Terminal in Linux, it's very useful and sometimes necessary. So, to speed up your work you can use "aliases" for commonly used commands. For example: when I type "aa", "apt-get install" is executed.
To enable "aliases" it's very simple, just follow these steps:
1. with your favorite editor open .bashrc (located in your home directory)
2. add this linealiases xx="command"
3. open terminal and execute this command:source ~/.bashrc
You can add as many aliases as you want but every time you need to reload bash with "source ~/.bashrc".
If you want to use aliases for the commands that can be executed only by root, edit .bashrc from your root directory, and execute "source ~/.bashrc" as root.
Speed up your work with Bash aliases
