how does not having a gui work? it's just the terminal right?

There are multiple gui front ends, but its still very popular to use it in the terminal. Its a TUI, so it practically works like a GUI.

difference between cli and tui? also what frontends are good

In a cli you only type commands and send them with Enter, in a TUI you can click/move around with the arrows just like in a gui.

Edit: dont know about good front ends.
