Ask HN: 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
- throwaway888abc 6y agoFor easy start (human friendly) there is Regolith Linux. https://regolith-linux.org/ https://regolith-linux.org/ Once you learn the basics you can switch fully to tmux,vim etc.etc. The productivity boost is huge.

- simonblack 6y agoYou 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!).
