KDE Konqueror already does that. And info pages as well. Besides being a
web browser, it’s also a file manager. And possibly some other things I
can’t remember off the top of my head right now.
 
Yup, it’s a floor wax AND a dessert topping!

You do realize that running Linux can be anything one wants it to be,
basically?  You can boot it without a GUI at all, not that this would
be useful on a modern desktop.  Even Larry's lame OS installation has
a basic X Window setup, although painfully void of useful features
that he thinks he doesn't really need, even as he buys server
processors for his builds.  But also uses a spinning hard drive and
not a solid state drive.

Incredible, to me, although it figures a person like that would be in
this newsgroup, but the way he is trying to lord his supposed skill
over distro users is even stupider than hating Apple/MS users because
of their support of, appreciation for, and/or usage online of, their
proprietary OSes, no this goes to condemning fellow Linux advocates,
calling them unspeakable things, psychosis flowing into public view
via text.  Larry is a creep.
