I guess I misread you, then. I thought you were arguing that a text mode wouldn't be useful. That's why I suggested Server Core. It's CLI, but uselessly framed in a GUI framework.
Like I said in my earlier post, text mode NT is my fever dream fantasy. Maybe you were saying the same thing.
Yes, I was saying the same thing. There are very few applications we could run on a text-mode DOS/Linux-CLI type NT due to the upstream dependencies that require (or implement) a graphical interface.
Text-only mode would be wonderful even if all you could do is look at a blinking cursor.
