This will be for a physically small i5 laptop for various programming fun. The candidate linux should be easy to install, and provide a large selection of CLI programs.

I believe any Linux can be "CLI Linux" as Linux is designed CLI first. Do you have an end goal? You can either not install a desktop or just stop and disable your display manager

The purpose I have in mind for the system will be a place to code, C, python, and some BASIC if I can find a nice CLI one. I have installed MX linux, and will probably keep the window manager as installed but just use a lot of terminal emulators.

Sounds like a decent setup. Good luck
