When I really think about the kinds of things I find essential in a computer, almost everything could be achieved with a TUI or a very light GUI. Unfortunately, the problem of proprietary software and APIs is always around the corner. I can use a TUI client for Telegram, but I can't if I want to message someone on Facebook. I can use a simple newsreader for blogs, but I can't for my friends' Instagram posts. I could honestly scrap by with a 20yo computer if the world was more open sourced. Such a shame
