I'n looking to download a linux distro that has nothing but a terminal, simply boot up the machine into a console/terminal that runs sh/bash.
I want it to test some shell script and I really don't need a desktop environment because I want it to perform as best as possible.
If anyone knows anything like this let me know thanks!
I tried to look it up on google and YT and all I find is some lightweight distributions but with desktops.
I recommend you Arch Linux. It's a lightweight and DIY distro. You don't need a desktop environment to install it on your system

I will create a program that can be managed by window GUI but I can't find any package or code to do that without HTML. I want it to work on computers that doesn't have a browser etc. So I want the window like tkinter in Python. But in Node JS. How can I do this?
There are lots of libraries to make GUIs in node. Your choice depends on what OSs your application should run on.
If you want something that works in Linux then https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-gtk is pretty good.
For windows, there is https://www.npmjs.com/package/win32-api
I dont know much about macOS but I recon you might be able to get GTK running.
If you dont mind a heavy runtime and want cross-platform support Electron or NW.js might be a good pick

I need to install a VM of an operating systems that is not based on Linux/Unix, Windows or Mac.
I tried to use NetBSD and FreeBSD, but both seem to be too simple, since I need to run applications and write something about the system's characteristics (like, if it's a time sharing, distributed or network system and run some commands on its terminal to see basic system properties).
Is there a good OS, not based in Linux (like BSD) that has a simple installation and it's easy to use (preferably with a "graphics package" and not just terminal, since I need to run applications)?
Feel free to ask for more details and thanks in advance for all the answers.
I would suggest looking into Haiku OS, a direct descendent of BeOS. It has many interesting features:
A micro-kernel implemented entirely in C++
Very elegant API design
A filesystem with a clear metadata structure
Plenty of opportunities for developers to collaborate and learn

I was just wondering if you can recommend me a Linux OS for my Samsung 900x laptop. I just want to familiarize myself with the Linux OS and I know companies like people who uses Linux. Thanks!
you should ask this kind of questions in linux forums.
depending on your hardware and knowledge level you can choose a distro to use.
for example if you want to just use your OS out of the box, you can use distributions like Linux Mint and Ubuntu.
I recommend you to try a live linux disk like Knoppix which has some Desktop environments installed.
then you can choose what Desktop you like (Gnome shell, KDE, xfce,...)
and if you ever wanted to install linux on hard disk, you at least know what you want.
good luck and welcome to GNU/Linux world!

Is there a library that can do video streaming with a WebRTC enabled browser from a linux application (not from another browser)?
Yes, there is the WebRTC Native API. It is written in C++(some C in there as well) and can be compiled on Linux, Windows, and OSX. It also contains sample apps that are written in C++ that work on Linux that are able to make calls with a browser.
Checkout the getting started guide and try and build some of their example apps that run natively.
Have a look at this, its awesome

Are there open source Linux cluster project available? Could someone point me to the web link?

There's this Pelican HPC livecd, which uses MPI. The livecd approach makes it easy to try out things without breakage.
Oh it also features easy install on networked PCs by booting via PXE over the network.
