However, a gui to manage the services is a lot better than doing every things manually. At least to see the running services.
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).
