How can I go about using the tty only on my system (lemmy.ml)

I wanted to have a separate laptop where I only use the terminal for my use cases. At the moment I am somewhat confident using the terminal, but I think limiting myself to tty only would build my confidence even more. Any tips?

EDIT: I am already using nvim and I already have installed a minimal distro (Arch). I just need advice on how to actually run this system effectively.

It's about building muscle memory as well though. You are right that many home-gamers will probably never be without their customizations though. But if you do re-installs, setup VMs, try new distros, etc. it's beneficial.

Just my opinion though.

    That really depends on what you're doing. It's only really useful when you're regularly SSH-ing into other machines for work. Otherwise you're wasting time every day so that you might save a second once every few years.
