I hate computers and the internet is stupid (I broke my Nginx config)

@evan Like I've seen servers run 6x more memory usage with GNOME running than if they were just CLI only

A desktop environment is important for an end user, but not so much for a sysadmin who needs every ounce of storage for *actually serving the content* instead of making it a little easier to navigate sometimes

@evan No, but there are definitely advantages to not having a GUI in some places

I don't really see a place where NOT having a CLI is actually an advantage and not just...not having a CLI

@Chloe @astrid This is the way
