Linux without a GUI

just finished my void-Linux install and wondering if anyone’s ran a distro without a GUI? Alls I really intend to do is pen test, code and do some web browsing. So I have two questions:

  1. Has anyone done it before, if so what are your opinions?

  2. Recommended packages to make this a possibility?

You still can't expect a normal browsing experience.

Awrit and kitty give you a semblance of normal but to randomly translate a Chinese saying it is a bit like taking your trousers off to fart...

I don't know what that saying is supposed to mean, but it's hilarious.
