Line Mode Browser is obsolete. To name a few maintained/relevant/well-known
text-mode browsers: Lynx, Links, w3m.

How did you try to connect? nmcli? nmtui?

So it works in LXDE (Trisquel Mini) but not i3?

I actually made a clean installation of trisquel mini from usb. I deleted all
the partitions except the existing windows and I installed from usb trisquel
midi along windows because my wife does not allow to delete it... I deleted
partitions in the dumbest way because I didn want to spend
Nice! But this is really a text browser? If so I can not see how to make it
work
So true! The lightest browser ever to be invented is one which is completely
non-functional, letting one stare at a static black screen all day.
That said, Line Mode Browser is green and simple, pretty close but no cigar.

Netsurf is way lighter but it is also way less functional, unfortunately. :(
I believe Netsurf is lighter on resources. Or Dillo. Of course, CLI browsers
Lynx, Links are lightweights in their own right.

Thanks, chaosmonk, so I understand Midori has been upgraded recently and it
is still debugging. I will have to wait then.
Anyway, is Midori the lightest free choice or we have another one in the same
“league”?

i3 is great. I'll never go back to using a stacking window manager.

Midori is upgraded as you told me but I can not acces to history, when I
click on preferences I can not see it, and I even if I click on extensions
me but it shows zero entries and I can not find info on internet abut it
thanks too, I will try it.
thanks

I use i3 and do not have this problem. Are you using the latest version
of Midori? If not, build and install it using the instructions in my
other comment.

Opening more than two windows seems to do that. You can Alt-e or Alt-s to
change horizontal/vertical/tab modes. Use Abrowser if you find this annoying.
thanks again, amigos.
I was testing i3 and it is so clean but when I have more than one window
Midori does not show navigation bar to write, I have been looking for info
about it with no luck.
Is this a common thing?
Window Maker is pretty light on resources. It's a NeXTSTEP clone.

Thanks for your responses, I will try your recommendations later, but I still
have a doubt about installing in text mode, you said something about not
being in dual booting but I indeed have dual booting for old windows and
trisquel. I would like to delete the trisquel living on it and re-
> Anyway I am thinking this laptop does not manage very well even these

I have some low-resource netbooks on which I'm trying to configure Trisquel

i3wm is a nice tiling window manager. Best of both worlds, it has a GUI but
it relies on keyboard shortcuts a lot. Tiling means no overlapping windows.
sudo apt install i3

Fvwm 95 behaves a lot like Windows 95. There's a pager to choose between four
preinstalled workspaces.
That screen is what you get when you choose Text mode from the USB iso at
starting? Or you have to create another USB different from the Trisquel iso?
It's there: 3. Setup 95 script
that is exactly as I think!
"Newbies" or modern users conflate OS with the GUI. The GUI is only candy.
You don't need a GUI. UNIX is a black screen with white text on it.
ok, thanks, I understand that is the lowest choice.
I installed fvwm, now I ask you about what you told me: "click on desktop and
select fvwm95 script", I can not see it

The only difference between Trisquel and Trisquel Mini is the default
desktop environment. Trisquel has MATE as its default whereas Trisquel
Mini has LXDE. If you
Trisquel Mini is the same what in Ubuntu they would call Lubuntu, with LXDE.
If you need a fast GUI on low resources, use fvwm. You can't get lower than
that these days. I've used fvwm successfully on Intel Atom.

It's the same OS, but the *default configuration* of the OS is lighter.
Since you are reconfiguring the OS yourself this
Thanks, I did it because when I run the command you said it tells me I have
those packages installed and at the login screen I can select the mini choice
as you show.
But this is what Trisquel-mini is, a graphical lighter "environment"? I
thought Trisquel Mini was another kind of OS with
Install package trisquel-mini and trisquel-mini-recommended.
thanks again, loldier.
Anyway I am thinking this laptop does not manage very well even these minimum
coices so I am trying to install trisquel mini, I tried it from zero in
another partition but it does not install it, it show messages of error, so
tried to "delete" Trisquel installation
There's another lightweight Window Manager/Desktop Environment to try: fvwm.
When installed, click on the desktop and choose fvwm95 script.
sudo apt install fvwm
Once installed, fire them up in a terminal.

conky
Make them autostart if you need to have them ready each time you login.
Thanks, loldier, it is exactly that!
I did it, but may I do anything else in order to make it run?
Or it is something you need to write into some rc or config file?
Install conky.

I can see there are so many things to configure, I am not knowing how to
start.
I am using openbox and I configured things so I could add some keybinds for
launching terminal with Ctrl Alt T and some resizing things
I think I don really need by now too much things, I am thinking about

I use openbox+tint2 for many years, it is extremely customizable and takes
very small amount or memory. This my favorite environment and I won't change
it.
Openbox offers many possibilities. A couple of guides on openbox

And you can copy configuration files from distros using openbox as default

I am getting even more interested now.

Midnight Commander is a Norton Commander clone for UNIX.
Thanks again, I like that setup, I will give it a try
Anything can be done in a terminal, launch programs, adjust sound, screen
brightness or join networks.
There's a graphic tool to edit the menu -- Obmenu, 'sudo apt install obmenu'.
Thank you,
I understand it is not a full desktop environment but I am maybe thinking
about if I need really a full DE because as first things I am trying to
learn the basics and maybe I will use it for learning to program.

Well of course, many people do.
Openbox by default looks like an X root window -- a black desktop with no app
windows open. Right clicking on the root window (desktop) opens the root menu
which has some program entries.
There's no panel. Everything can be added and customized.
Obconf
ok, but could it be possible to use it for it?
Thank you, loldier.
So it looks like you could use Openbox as DE(not just as a part of lxde),
yes?
I saw pictures of it on the net and it seems to be lighter, is it?
It's Openbox. LXDE uses Openbox as the window manager.
