Re: "I am thinking about going terminal only. however I don't..."
I love pushing the limits of what can be done in the terminal. I'm using Arch Linux with AwesomeWM and try to use the terminal to do as much as possible.

all the best, let me add a recommendation - mc a.k.a. midnight commander - you'll wonder why you used a gui file manager after using it
I have been trying to/considering going full console as well, so I really appreciate the contributions from everyone here!
I have a question though! Are there any "office" packs for console anymore? I like to do spreadsheets of stuff and a console would be epic for this, typing tools as well.
A little input tidbit, in my search for console things, I found i3 which is a Linux WM, that is based on a console first, tiling system, basically ignoring the mouse. Most of it's tools is configured or even directly used from a console.
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!
