BunsenLabs Boron - Debian 12 with Openbox Window Mgr - no desktop, no icons. The machine is not burdened by having to run a heavy desktop environment. All navigation and execution is done with mouse (right click), keybindings or command line. Linux without the Windows artifacts. On my HP i7, boots to login in 19 seconds.
Bash is everywhere—embedded systems, minimal containers, legacy servers. Zero dependencies, just #!/bin/bash. In constrained environments, you often can’t install “proper” languages. It’s often the right and only tool for the job.
