bare-bone Debian (or any other OS)

[panv]

is there a way to get rid of lxqt on debian, and use it as base system without GUI ? Please elaborate.. I don't even know how to move to different run-level (3 or 4)

Please elaborate... Do you just want the tty terminal?

[panv]

Yes, is it possible ? and how do I move around from a tty to another ? couldn't find any shortcut.. (alt+ctrl+fn )

systemctl get-default
sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
sudo systemctl reboot

and to reverse :

systemctl get-default
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
sudo reboot
