I tried one of the terminal emus, the one with alpine. Ish I think. But it didn’t do what I wanted.. and in reality, I only need a terminal and some compilers/vms.
It will come.. But hopefully without too much cloud requirements

Agreed fully on the last notion there. I’ve come across so many great pieces of software that I think “oh this would fit my workflow just nicely!” but then the other shoe drops when I see it requires a signup to their service and their cloud to use a native desktop application that talks to a non-proprietary TCP based protocol.
E.g. some of the most interesting replacement MacOS email clients requires signing up to their “service” so I can use an IMAP client to talk to my work’s Exchange through a mail client. No. Absolutely not.
