Ok, I re-installed Debian in VirtualBox, installed only the basic utilities and am accessing the thing headless to connect to my account and run picolisp. It must be the first time I find some use for XQuartz :)
The only issue with this setting is that to run picolisp I have an overhead of ~5% cpu use just to run VB headless. Wondering if there is a virtual solution that uses less CPU, because I can let this run on battery...
