How can you completely switch to terminal/console


In the modern era we are we much as focused on GUIs but back in the day everything was done using terminals/console. In the modern era how can we completely switch to terminal and perform our day to day tasks on terminal

For easy start (human friendly) there is Regolith Linux.

Once you learn the basics you can switch fully to tmux,vim etc.etc.

The productivity boost is huge.

You can have the best of both worlds, you don't need to go without either a GUI or a CLI.

On my desktop(s), I have both GUI and CLI applications, both ready for immediate use. Ferinstance, I have a GUI browser as well as several CLI xterms.

In fact, I probably do much more minute-to-minute work using the xterm CLIs, but that browser is always available for reference work (and entertainment!).
