From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use blackbox, looks nice and can customize shortcuts. https://itsfoss.com/blackbox-terminal/
Blackbox is a WM, not a terminal! (get off my lawn!)
Damn this was my first thought too.
Someone pass me an AARP card and a Costco-sized tube of ointment…
I used to use Fluxbox back in the day, what’s the modern equivalent?
I think Openbox is the main survivor of the *box WMs – Openbox has become pretty much the default choice for small Linux distros, either with a few utilities like crunchbangplusplus or BunsenLabs or as the base of a lightweight DE like LXDE/LXQt
This. It feels like what the new gnome-console ought to have been.
