Distro 2: ASCII Curses Panelling GUI

Old DOS applications went through a phase of having amazing ascii GUIs and games. Somehow Linux seemed to skip that, straight from server cli to desktop environment.

Why not create a native ascii keyboard-only paneled environment similar to i3 in operation?

• Mod4 can be used for switching panels.
• Ctrl and Alt can be used for switching application functions and menus.
• VIM controls can be used for other operations.
• Panel Arrangement saves on exit

It will be blazing fast and be usable on server systems.
