| 1200 baud only else too fast |

| Sure most of the time even, and also /dev/fb0 for graphics stuff. |

| What do ou mean you use /dev/fb0 for graphical stuff? |
|
|
| __[2022-08-13(Sat)14:45:50 #1557]_____________________________________ |
| ofc I use, why even use graphics for anything besides javascript |
| in browser and games / movies? |
|

| #1556 you can use framebuffer pseudodevices to directly render |
| pixels on your screen. with simple wrapper or binding of wayland |
| compositor / X11 windows manager you can make simple GUI |

| #1556 Long ago (90's) I used SVGAlib to have graphics without |
| XFree86 under Linux 1.2.x kernels. Later on they added fbdev to |
| the kernel in one of the 2.x releases (can't remember which), |
| and I'm still using fbdev today to have graphics without Xorg. |

| #1559 do you use some custom scripts for it? share if you do pls |
|
|
| __[2022-08-15(Mon)20:27:47 #1561]_____________________________________ |
| #1560 Not really, I only configured Midnight Commander to run |
| framebuffer-friendly programs like fim (image viewer), fbpdf2, |
| ffplay, and so on. A number of games work too, but sometimes only |
| after I fix them b/c devs only tested in Xorg. |

| A DOS is fine too. |

| FreeDOS is always an option and many stick with it. Not exactly |
| sure why one'd use it over BSD outside of gaming however. |

| I prefer to use both TTY's, if she has 2. |
|
|
| __[2022-12-04(Sun)22:58:51 #1631]_____________________________________ |
| TTY preferer here. It's cozy and I only startx now and then. |
|
|
| __[2022-12-07(Wed)21:32:28 #1632]_____________________________________ |
| #1620 I had more fun programming in Turbo Pascal on DOS than anything |
| after that tbh. So easy peasy to make games, and no complicated |
| libraries like SDL or curses and other crap. |
|
|
| __[2023-04-12(Wed)14:19:37 #1668]_____________________________________ |
| They didn't fix GPM in 20 years to report X11-type mouse events |
| to TTY, and running LCXterm to get it working is kinda lame, so |
| unfortunately I'm running my Gopher client written in Bash from X. |
|
|
| __[2023-04-15(Sat)00:13:55 #1670]_____________________________________ |
| Me personally, on my 486 I prefer DOS in mode 54, which corresponds |
| to a 132x43 text mode. I also use the Berkeley UNIX utilities since |
| I still find myself trying to ls and cp instead of dir and copy. |
|
|
| __[2023-04-17(Mon)11:42:23 #1678]_____________________________________ |
| is there a way to bind caps lock to escape in tty? So far I've only |
| done it via X and it's a major pain point for me |
|
|
| __[2023-04-26(Wed)14:16:24 #1700]_____________________________________ |
| I live mostly on TTY. And I use mpv on TTY with vo=sdl. I use it for |
| all audios, videos, images. I know using seperate programs like fim |
| fits Unix philosophy more, but the quality of mpv is far better... |
|
|
| __[2023-04-27(Thu)14:29:32 #1701]_____________________________________ |
| vo=tct also works, but you have to include the --quiet option. Also, |
| works better for me in tmux for some reason |
|
|
| __[2023-04-28(Fri)03:43:05 #1703]_____________________________________ |
| #1701 I tried vo=tct, but the quality of outputs sucked. Maybe it |
| depends on the machine (I use OpenBSD). It's better to use just |
| ffplay than using mpv with vo=tct. |
|
|
| __[2023-05-03(Wed)06:13:30 #1708]_____________________________________ |
| Honestly this thread is inspiring. I'll fire up my old pi with |
| OpenBSD and play around |
|
|
| __[2023-05-03(Wed)12:39:58 #1709]_____________________________________ |
| For me it seems that at least vo=tct needs *more* CPU, so I doubt |
| it'll be practical on a pie, but please report back |
|

| I dug around and couldn't find wscons in ffmpeg or schismtracker |
| documentation, it turns out support for it is enabled by |
| default. Never thought I'd keep xenodm disabled like this but this |
| is really nice |
|
|

|
| __[2023-05-26(Fri)01:29:54 #1726]_____________________________________ |
| Yeah wscons support is compiled into SDL by default on OpenBSD |
| I believe |

| SDL has libraries for a lot of stuff, hence why it's so |
| useful. schismtracker, for example, works because SDL provides user |
| input, graphical and sound output. |
|
|
| __[2023-06-04(Sun)16:45:16 #1734]_____________________________________ |
| I found that imv (an image viewer) also uses SDL. So I can use imv |
| instead of mpv for images. |
|
|
| __[2023-06-12(Mon)09:19:46 #1735]_____________________________________ |
| So SDL provides the functionality to create GUIs without an X server? |
|

| TTY is great. Everything feels so snappy and many comforts are |
| available. Lynx can user gopher by default but I am very partial |
| to elinks. Cmus is lovely so I will run that in a secondary. Irssi |
| with friends, and fun games like dcss |
|
|
| __[2023-07-22(Sat)10:06:12 #1750]_____________________________________ |
| Technically: yes I use lots of ttys, but usualy they are attached |
| to something that draws into another tty or into a wayland session |
|
|
| __[2023-10-08(Sun)22:15:37 #1773]_____________________________________ |
| Does using tmux in tty count? Technically it's not a tty anymore |
|
|
| __[2023-10-19(Thu)14:32:46 #1776]_____________________________________ |
| >1773 Technically, maybe. At least it's not X |
|
|
| __[2023-11-05(Sun)12:59:33 #1779]_____________________________________ |
| I always use TTYs, generally one, sometimes two. Every need I have |
| has its CLI version. X only when strictly neccessary. |
|
|
| __[2023-11-15(Wed)09:39:18 #1781]_____________________________________ |
| Xenocara, CWM, UXTerm, TMUX, MPV, nsxiv, MuPDF. For everything else, |
| nvi, tcl/tk, and a bunch of CLI/TUI tools. Close, but it's not the |
| TTY nor the framebuffer. |

| Sure! in xterm; but it's 2023, and most of the software we need to |
| do the jobs that pay the bills depend on some graphical form |

|

| It couldn't be gatekept; hardware was rigged from the start |

| there's one thinkpad i own running alpine linux with no x, i just |
| use dvtm and text mode stuff. Mostly just set that up for fun |
