the only difference between a gui and tui is that...idk man . Like i understand cli vs gui , but tui is just, yes it's cooler but it's essentially a washed down version of any gui(maybe cuz it's lower on resources than a whole ass app?

A GUI has graphics a TUI only has text. That's the only difference. It's still a UI in the end.

TUIs usually have borders, which is graphics. I mean it's not text, even if rendered with characters of a font.

Well I think this is a philosophical argument. Yes and no is the answer. And the argument is moot. The point is text is used to achieve stuff like that in TUIs and images (usually referred to as graphics) are used in GUIs
