Hey everyone! I'm looking for some inspiration for retro-themed or retro-inspired setups. Retro-futurism is cool too! Especially Window Manager setups. I appreciate anything y'all can give.

everything is bigger now!! which makes it better and more understandable for everyone.

I recently switched from Code Saver to my own Iosevka configuration, and at first I found it to look great in Neovide but too narrow in my terminal, especially with FFmpeg output. I thought maybe it was due to font rendering differences, like spacing or character widths. But then I took a screenshot with the font sizes set the same in both apps, and overlaid a word in one app to another ... and the text is rendered the same.

FFmpeg output for reference:

I'm living life in the virtual terminal, no graphical session, although the framebuffer does render graphics.

After having my desktop look like a rainbow for a long time I went for the opposite end. It's not a very cheerful color-scheme but my eyes suffer much less after long hours behind the screen.

Anyway, thank you all for introducing me into this new world just about a year ago.
