Can you name any?
- dsr_ 3y agoThe user's choice of color schemes.
- shiomiru 3y agoIf the program you're running prints red text, then you get red bgcolor with red fgcolor. Good luck reading that. (Also, users with the wrong color scheme get that experience by default. Though that is a niche use case enough that I'd be surprised if systemd devs cared about it.)
- withinboredom 3y agoContainers run with a tty attached but no console on the other end and then trying to read the logs, for starters. Additionally, as mentioned, conflicts with the user's color scheme or even the program's. Further, it's possible to do this without the help of run0, so I suspect users already doing that are going to get their colors messed up and be annoyed. For example, prod machines are usually red, and running as root on a prod machine is royal purple. If this is used, seeing a red background instead of a purple one is likely non-desirable.
- snvzz 3y agoXMODEM and the like expect the terminal stream to not have garbage added by e.g. run0. The terminal line should be clean between XMODEM at the terminal emulator and at the client end.
- throwaway7356 3y agoIs xmodem still used outside of computer museums (including private computer museums)?
- snvzz 3y agoIt's e.g. still very popular with embedded development. One example: u-boot supports it. It is the easiest way to upload an image to u-boot, as it does use the same terminal, thus there is no need to set up a secondary path; If you can talk with the u-boot CLI, you can also upload with xmodem.
