Ask HN: Recommendation for a command-line only OS?
My dream for an OS is a linux/unix based pure command line environment, where I could split the screen or otherwise instantiate multiple shell sessions with a simple shortcut. As close to the metal as possible.
Does anything like this exist? Or can it be configured to exist?

- skimmas 11y agoin the command line all unixes/linuxes Are pretty much the same. Personally I only run linux on VPSes and ocasonally in a raspberry pi for fun. Always only using the command line. so for distros anything really, ubuntu, debian, arch, centos, puppy... . for shell session tmux or screen.
