Yeah, I mean, that's less relevant if you're just using drawterm to talk to a headless box or a VM.

So, my experience is some stuff you can't really replace so you have to talk to Linux, some stuff is better and I don't miss the original thing at all, some of it's the same. It's like using a different programming language and nowadays it's about as easy to use 50 OSs as it is to use 50 languages.

Seconded. My experience with GUI stuff prior to Inferno was all gtk/qt/etc. with some occasional "I guess I have to figure out how to make Windows have a systray icon for this thing" and I hated all of it. Inferno has a port of Tk so I learned Tk and it made me wonder why I hadn't sooner. Like you can bash out a GUI in wish in 30 seconds, it's a pipe, you can make a GUI in awk. (The temperature monitor from that screenshot, that's an awk script.)

Oh, it's pretty easy to do. I like cmus, personally, but Plan 9's pretty easy to do sound stuff for. (Have you seen this? https://git.sr.ht/~ft/neindaw )

I'm not sure if I gave it an honest try once, but I don't feel it at all.
Also their fucking source code browser just took me for a fucking bot while I was going around at a rather slow pace. (pic attached)

I haven't tried using it yet but I don't into DAWs or even livecoding so it having an interface makes me take it as "Oh, yet another thing I won't use".
I want to program it entirely, even before I got in computers I wished I could just give the music sheets directly to my harp rather than have to practice everyday.
It kills what I find fun in music.
