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.

Or, you could just use Gentoo, which offers you an even wider array of possibilities for getting into trouble on the command line.

Headless. The word you're looking for is "headless".

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..

This is just a regular OS. Gui is bloat because DE is bloat.

Window manager is all you need, the terminal is the file explorer. Free your mind!

Me (installing Arch): Amateurs!

This is like Hipster Linux. “This one is just text… but unironically. And it has colors, but ironically. It’s like… film photography… but computers.”

To be fair I spend a lot of time in the terminal and behind the lens of a film camera.
