        I know this is probably a long shot. But I was wondering if it was possible to boot UT to console mode only. I think it would be pretty cool to have a standalone handheld terminal device in the form factor of a smartphone. I also realize that if it did work, there would be no on-screen keyboard and I would need to use a wired keyboard. Still want to try it.

        Ctrl+Alt+F2-F6 doesn't do anything like it does on other Linux distros. On most Debian builds, I would run sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target, would that work here?

          @harrisonpatm What would be the benefit of that instead of launching the terminal app?

          May the source be with you

            @ikoz Reduced power usage. Preference for command line. Processor is freed up from serving a GUI, thus can get more done with less resources. Aesthetics, fun, learning. Want to see what UT is capable of, compared to a standard Linux distro
