Agreed!

So try sixel-tmux: https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux

I run Windows 11 as my main OS. sixel-tmux was written to help the users of non-sixel-aware terminals: every time a sixel sequence is intercepted, it's either:

- rewritten to ASCII art through derasterize if your terminal doesn't support sixels

- passed as-is if your terminal supports sixels

If you use a serial port software such as minicom inside a terminal running sixel-tmux (ex: Windows terminal) it should work
