Unless you've got a big HPC job to run, it wouldn't be very exciting. You log in to a "login node" which is just an ordinary linux server and you get a bash prompt. Nothing very remarkable. To actually do anything you would create a script and submit your job to the workload manager, then come back later for your results.

If there were a GUI for that, it could show decks of FORTRAN cards and a shelf with printouts... ;-)
