Hopefully this isnt too controversial. I want to have a Linux operating system that is very minimalistic. I want just a terminal if I can/cli.
I think Ubuntu is counterfeit windows. Im not against having a gui but I think it might make me faster without one. I kinda just want something without very much installed (until I need it).
Arch Linux.
I'd guess something like i3 would interest you.
