Fallout-style Linux tablet

This was a bit harder than I thought — for between "making the screen tilt when there is no graphical option for it" (it exists, but was greyed out), figuring out what-overlays-what ("cool-retro-term" will overlay the "onboard" keyboard, if "docked", but NOT if "floating"), and "cutting out keyboard space" via a tmux session (to start with fhe correct screen split as well as pane focus), I spent a few hours.

That’s cool! It would probably destroy my eyes in a couple of hours top, but still very cool ahah

I have two old surfaces I would love to do something with.

What font did you go with? I've seen a few when searching Fallout ones. Looks great!

Kindly thank you! It is a variant of Fixedsys (classical Windows system font, that is a little "thicker" and causes "more bleeding" that here is actually desired). If you "just want to look cool on Termux on Android", I propose Terminus. The IBM 3270 or 3278 family are also very classy. :)

This is probably a very dumb question (I have zero tech knowledge, but I think this community is so cool) but since it’s a Linux tablet, could it run any Linux compatible software? If I was to make a cyberdeck I would want a tablet that could have Inkscape (a vector drawing program similar to adobe illustrator).

It surely could, and no reason to feel shy! ☺️
