Text-Based User Interfaces (TUI; CLI)

Forum for advanced users who grok the power of text-based apps, the advantage of tmux/GNU screen, the keyboard and who often find the mouse a hinderance to a fast workflow. A text-based UI is also a decent escape from enshitified resources.
This forum broadly covers tools, hacks, and advocacy of text-based environments.

TUIs are graphical interfaces. It's just that they use the terminal as their renderers instead of having their own.
It's just like WebApps, they use the browser as their renderer, but they are still graphical interfaces.
Sorry for apparently confusing some terms. But my point stands: If I don't have X or Wayland running, I can't click on links in Browsh or Carbonyl. And if I do have X or Wayland running, I can use Firefox or Chrome instead.
