I’m using Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (Bionic Beaver). Is there any graphical interface with terminals only? I wanted to use terminator to split the screen into 4 terminals, but I don’t need any other things, that graphical interface has (like internet browser, text editors and else programs).

  • If you want a minimal system in BIOS mode, start from an Ubuntu mini.iso file and install only what you want.

  • If you want a minimal system in UEFI mode, start from a 64-bit Ubuntu Server iso file and and install only what you want (avoid server specific packages, that you don't need).

  • There are many window managers. I have used Fluxbox. See also this link that shows that it might be enough to install fluxbox xinit xterm. I think you will replace xterm with terminator and maybe fluxbox with some other window manager.
