“The terminal is arguably the most used application when it
comes to Linux. And together with the excessive usage of the
terminal in Linux, there are a lot of text-based applications to
use directly on the terminal for almost every task you need to
perform daily. Text-based applications are usually simple, clean
and very easy to customize. And moreover, since these applications
are text-based, they dont consume much resource, you then can run
these apps on old computers without any problem. Moreover, when you
incorporate these text-based apps with tiling window managers like
Awesome or XMonad, the result is really nice.
