Not really. They keep "improving" the GUIs to the point of absolute
uselessness (try to use the gnome "users" gui to define a a user
that just uses the "users" group for instance, or add additional
groups to a user). Eventually you have to use the command line
because they will have rendered everything else utterly useless.
The systemctl command line isn't too bad. Things you need to
know: "disabled" doesn't mean disabled. Only "masked" services
are actually disabled.
systemctl list-unit-files --full
will tell you all the services. Pipe that to "fgrep enabled" to just
find the enabled ones.
If you see a service like:
throatwarblermangrove.service
and wonder what the heck it is, you can do a
rpm -q -i -f /usr/lib/systemd/system/throatwarblermangrove.service
and get whatever info the rpm that installed it is willing
to provide (usually there is a url in there you can go to
for even more info).
