- PhilipRoman 1y agoIn theory you're correct, but by that logic you'd also have to add ssh (probably by far the most common way of connecting to a remote terminal today). I guess you'd end up with something like mobaXTerm which is a valid approach for sure, but doesn't compose as well. Personally I live by the maxim "if it can be separated without significant drawbacks, then it should be separate" but GNU tends to see it differently.

What we’re talking about is the terminal to connect to the console serial port running the shell. EG https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VT220 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VT220
