Big plus of this software is that it runs without any configuration effort.

Usually these flashy Hollywood-OS terminals require a bunch of work before they look even slightly like the example image used by the developer.

I can't see myself using this for actual work, but it does look pretty. Maybe I could use it during a presentation :)

I use Cool Retro Term (CRT) for actual work. I find the PET font soothing. I also use it for certain types of tasks, so if, out of the corner of my eye, I see lots of text scrolling along, then my mind processes it as "Something's gone pear-shaped with Task X" without having to look at the other monitors.

Quite. $ yay -S edex-ui-git (wait quite a while!) click on entry on menu item.

It looks amazing and will be trotted out at the next available opportunity. Luckily I have a fair bit of CPU in this laptop because that and Teams take their toll. Fan: take the strain ...

I really wish this thing would simply check to see if I already have a node/npm installation...
