Why stop at images? If you go the full way and include drawing commands like those in cairo script (https://cairographics.org/manual/cairo-Script-Surfaces.html https://cairographics.org/manual/cairo-Script-Surfaces.html) you can essentially abolish any other sort of app besides the terminal. Your GUI is then simply created by writing to stdout.

I'm not the hero the world needs, but if I had a lot of money I would surely pay proficient hackers to write that thing.
