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.
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.
