In that case, you should know your way around the Unix shell.

Perhaps the path to happiness doesn't lie in Linux with a GUI and
accessibility tools, but in sticking to the shell.

There is a GUI-less distro designed especially for this:

On a large screen, 80*25 text is pretty big and might be readable
enough without further magnification. Modern Linux tools let you do a
