Is there any GUI with terminals only?












2















I’m using Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (Bionic Beaver). Is there any graphical interface with terminals only? I wanted to use terminator to split the screen into 4 terminals, but I don’t need any other things, that graphical interface has (like internet browser, text editors and else programs).

    I think your looking for a window manager. Check out things like dwm or awesome or maybe xmonad Edit: I've never actually tried a window manager on ubuntu though so ymmv...

    I’d add i3 to the list by @j-money. However, I also do not use any of these…

    Try tilix (terminal emulator), it has built-in tiling.

  • What exactly are you trying to reduce, disk space or ram? Tried just using a regular Ubuntu 18.04 (even running live from a USB), and remove all the packages you don't need?

  • If you want a minimal system in BIOS mode, start from an Ubuntu mini.iso file and install only what you want.


  • If you want a minimal system in UEFI mode, start from a 64-bit Ubuntu Server iso file and and install only what you want (avoid server specific packages, that you don't need).


  • There are many window managers. I have used Fluxbox. See also this link that shows that it might be enough to install fluxbox xinit xterm. I think you will replace xterm with terminator and maybe fluxbox with some other window manager.

            Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

            Image
            6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w...
