One of the things I've liked about Linux (though some distros have changed this over the years) is how with updates within a package manager GUI (like system updates, or installation of software), it would default to just a progress bar, which was usually fairly accurate, and maybe some text above or below it showing basic info on what is happening. But there was also a "show details" button, which would then open a mini-terminal (of sorts) and show the flow of what is actually happening behind the screen, so to speak (essentially identical to what you'd see if you were installing/updating at the command line). So you not only got a nice and (usually) accurate GUI representation, but if you wanted, you could also see extreme detail of what was going on or why something was taking a long time (maybe it's trying different servers to find a dependency, or it's downloading a file and something is slowing it down - or maybe your router has crashed, and its just sitting there, etc). IMHO, that's a much better way to represent things - keep a simplified view as default, but allow the option to see all the sausage making in the background, for those who want or need it.
