Have you ever tried using the terminal exclusively for your day-to-day usage for any amount of time?

How was it? What programs did you use?

I want to try it, but the browser thing is a deal breaker I think.

I live about 90% in various terminal windows.

I'm multi-machine and play in my homelab stuff a lot, so I sit in mosh/tmux/vim all day long. This has been my usual experience for a long long time. My experimentation tends to be on the GUI side of things, trying out this "vs code" thing everyone is talking about...

but I'll still never live without a GUI, browsing sucks so hard in a terminal now. It's basically unworkable.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
