I have a really cheap, dinky laptop with a 1366x768 display that's pretty slow. I wanna get a pure CLI setup on it; what are some useful CLI tools that do the job of their GUI counterparts? looking for recommendations on file explorers, messaging/internet apps, web browsers (for wikis and documentation), program launcher, etc.
also open to suggestions for distros that work well with this type of setup, and any tools to make CLI nicer to look at!
@bumbervevo to play music I use cmus, and ranger as file manager (runs on python). You may prefer nnn or other compiled text-based browsers. The only terminal-based browser I know is w3m, I think that's the name. You can also use Emacs in a terminal, if you install it with the GUI you can still force the terminal mode by executing "emacs -nw", which makes it a little faster, and can be used as a file manager, text editor, media player, and browser.
