I thought it’d be a pain but installing programs through the terminal is actually so nice, I never would have expected it

    Just wait until you find the fun TUI utilities, ill share a few:

    • Shell: Fish (has powerful auto-complete, very fast, written in rust)
    • Montior: Btop (monitors all system resources and processes)
    • Fetch: Fastfetch (perfect for showing off on !unixporn@lemmy.world, for !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone Hyfetch is reccomnded)
    • Brower: BrowSH (its a browser in your terminal)
    • Text Editor: Vim (the best text editor, remeber to use esc + : + q to close or wq to write close vim. However when you open vim you can never quit)
    • File manager: Ranger (if cd + ls is too inconvenient)
    • Games (yes you can even play games in the terminal): 2048, Chess-TUI, NSnake, and Micro Tetris

    More cool TUI tools
