You might not realize this, but a command-line-only OS like Peropesis has its place, and it can help you in your quest to master Linux.

Hm, I tend to like weird small distros, but I don't think "This command-line-only OS can help you learn the CLI." is enough to recommend it. ALL distros have a terminal, and many many of them are similar to this distro.

"Peropesis is a special kind of Linux distribution."

No, its not, and the reviewer that have 'reviewed lots of distros' didn't even explain what boot system it uses. Is it a Debian variant or ? What does it do that any other distro with a terminal doesn't do ? (Except not being persistent/installable) Why not just spin up a normal Debian server in lxc ?

There are many other suitable terminal distros out there..
