Most of these modern TUIs don't work on real "glass" terminals. Sure, nobody uses them anymore. I asked one of the Charm developer relations people if their stuff worked on old-school terminals like the VT-420, but they'd never even heard of that, didn't know what it was. Of course, the VT-420 came out before they were born, but still...
- azinman2 4y agoDo you use a VT-420?
- cbm-vic-20 4y agoI do! I usually have it connected to a Raspberry Pi and use it mostly for IRC, but also for retroprogramming projects.
- indymike 4y agoI used to keep a Zenith Z-29 terminal around that I bought (in new in the box condition) at a college surplus sale. I loved the keyboard on it and say what you will, green monochrome was really easy on the eyes (especially versus pre-super vga color screens). I used the Z-29 with a debugging card (it had a serial port) and when Linux took off, I used it as a terminal. It did well until the mid 00's when everything started expecting unicode support.
