I can also get along without electricity too. And refrigeration.

My desktop

My full screen menu

Hardly primitive and I rarely use the terminal. I can do an update faster via the terminal than opening up the GUI program for it. Hit F12 to open my terminal and type sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade

I do have one program that is command line only.

It's a video downloader that will download from youtube plus hundreds of other websites.

cd Videos takes me to my video folder and youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNcpAQPpIOE will download the best quality version of that video.

youtube-dl -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNcpAQPpIOE will list all the video only, audio only and video + audio formats available and give me 2-3 digit numeric codes for them.

youtube-dl -f 18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNcpAQPpIOE is that same highest quality as not using the argument.

Works on most any website or webpage with a video on it. All the browser addons for that are bloated and/or make you sign up to get the best quality versions.
