Have you ever tried using the terminal exclusively for your day-to-day usage for any amount of time?
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 try to make a habit of using the terminal for as much as I can, which honestly is a lot. I've even found a way to use it at work.
One day, I plan to run Linux without a window manager, maybe even without xorg entirely, using the tty's exclusively.
How do you plan to browse the internet?
There are things like w3m and other text browsers. I could maybe even get away with curl if I knew it better.
I watch a lot of YouTube, so I could maybe utilize the YouTube downloader cli tool so I can watch them locally.
Some video players (like mpv) allow you to stream directly from Youtube, with no need to download the full thing.
tbh, i also just ended up this way out of habit. the only thing i need outside of my terminal is my hardened firefox. i've tried surf and other similar browser's but i do plenty of web development for myself/school/contract gigs so i can't reasonably escape the browser world.
