Re: "I am thinking about going terminal only. however I don't..."
ok, another comment.
if you will write some programs and you would like them to be cli or to work in console, you may consider using C library like newt to create uis but in console.
and here i would like to tell that freepascal has a set of libraries called freevision - very advanced to create terminal user interfaces.

and most importantly. what would you use to connect to wifi? i would suggest you avoid using heavy desktop environments, since they are already underlying complexity and heavy burden on the cpu. then how do you connect to wifi without ui tools?
i suggest using wpa_supplicant directly. you probably have network manager service in your distribution.
just disable it. use some lightweight window manager where you open your terminals. and wpa_supplicant to connect to wireless networks directly.
I am thinking about going terminal only. however I don't know how could I achieve it since I need some GUI apps for work and university. for IRC I could use weechat which would work fine but what about youtube,telegram,github? there is no way I could use them inside terminal. but what I could do is use as much terminal as I can!
