tldr:
* I installed console-only Debian on an old laptop (no desktop OS at all)
* I added some packages to make it work better for writing:
* network-manager for connecting to hotspots while I'm away
* kmscon for custom fonts and more than 16 colors in the tty
* tmux for a nice status
It’s funny how we have all the tech to make hyper-realistic everything, yet people now are suddenly nostalgic for PlayStation 1 era graphics, 8 bit pixel art, and fully offline 80s terminals to be productive.
We also have a taste of the sort of AI they wrote scifi about, but everyone automatically sees how dystopian it can be in capitalism and rejects it automatically.
Cyberpunk dystopia is literally becoming reality. Now all we need is Elon Musk sponsored cyberware, military grade shit that can get hacked just because.
