I dreamed up this very fucking stupid concept last night: a hobby OS (as in "one of these weird projects from wiki.osdev.org") whose entire point is not using graphical output of any type. Instead, you'd have a complete stack built from ground up to use keyboards as input and... audio as output, maybe even something as simple as PC beeper output.

I know that there are people out there using Linux with accessibility tools for the visually impaired, but the question here is "what if we've built a whole software stack from scratch that was never supposed to support visual output in the first place?", which is not only more complex, but also happens to be entirely impractical and extremely stupid, and therefore interesting from my POV
