Anyone got a clue why this looks so bad? NixOs config responsible for it up thread (well in a sister thread for where I fixed it). This is on an old optiplex on a 3440*1440 screen.

Is it a bad choice of font? There isn't much guidance on what fonts are likely to work well.

This makes me happy... https://blog.macslow.org/?p=492 #kmscon #OpenSource #console

Does anyone use #kms #kmscon for terminal-only machines? My understanding is that the ol' fbterm is pretty much defunct at this point. I followed the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KMSCON guide -- to try and get things working. For the most part, it actually works! But for some reason #emoji won't show up at all, which is 😞

I'm on #Arch #Linux, naturally.

(And yes, I'm aware window managers exist, and no I don't want to use a window manager -- I just want unicode/emoji fonts displayed)

If you happen to be at @revisionparty starting today... and are curious about beefed up system-consoles #kmscon ...

@popey @atuin and #kmscon... these made my time in shell/terminal much more enjoyable.

Here is a small step-by-step guide for people, who want to try out my version of 'kmscon' and compile it from source... https://blog.macslow.org/?p=460 #linux #kmscon #terminal #OpenSource #console

Just submitted my talk-proposal for @fosdem 2024 about patching #kmscon and using OpenGL for systems-programming ;) My last FOSDEM-talk is from 2007... was called "Bling it up"... 16 years ago... uff :) Let's hope it'll be accepted.

I just upgraded tty1 to #kmscon using the kmscon-service in #guix and this is so nice that if I didn't have to do vfx work for money I'd probably be ditching a display server altogether

@RL_Dane @traecer

That's basically the idea, yes. If you've heard of #fbterm or the old #kmscon that used to be part of #systemd (but was quietly removed from it several years ago, with far less fanfare than when it was originally added) it's the same sort of idea, but structured significantly differently to and more flexibly than those two.

I have version 1.41 in development, delayed because of a planet-wide pandemic and Brexit. (-:
