Not only that but there are tons of image viewer, video viewer, pdf viewer etc application for framebuffer (for linux). But this begs the question whether framebuffer can be considered "terminal". Also, to me it's still perfectly "terminal", if you use X and run a terminal emulator and live inside it unless you need to see a image, video or pdf. To me, the answer to this question is "yes".
- copperx 8y agoThe only problem with the framebuffer is that it adds a perceptible delay vs using a "raw" TTY. It's a small delay, perhaps a few ms, and I guess most people can't notice it, but it can be distracting if you live on the terminal. You can actually see it if you cat a big file to the screen.
