When you're asked if you prefer x11 or Wayland, but you like titties.

Tiv will handle that on the tty just fine.

"Fine" being (arguably) marginally better than attempting to decipher a scrambled cable channel that could be either the softcore channel or a travel documentary - either way, you're looking at something that rhymes with "complicating crank".

My wife complains about not being able to hear the TV over the teletype, but I keep telling her it's the only way to get the true user experience.

I should really upgrade to 300 baud. These posts are taking forever to read.

Also, I've got like 9 of them. So that's 9 times better.

For those who don't understand: cage is a kiosk wayland window manager, which means it only runs one program in the foreground and in fullscreen.

foot is a graphical terminal emulator.

So the joke here is to run a terminal emulator in fullscreen and kiosk mode on a wayland wm from tty, which, at first sight, looks exactly the same as just tty. So you use wayland for a lookalike tty session, which is a nod at OP's image which states you wouldn't run a tty on x or wayland.

(But cage+foot has mouse support, nice fonts, can launch graphical programs, etc., and has itself established as a kind of rescue shell for tty-less kernel distributions)

Noob, I teared a hole in the fabric of reality and plugged it into my head. I interface with my thoughts and the results are read to me by voices in my head.

I use wsl just to log in and run update/upgrade whenever I get the itch.

Anyone remember the rackspace raids in mid-00s? I called and explained to them our ircd operator was in iraq and got services set back up.

The best way to interact with a Linux machine is ssh through powershell. Hate me all you want, but it's kinda a self-own to imply that savvy Linux users don't bother with the desktop.

PowerShell isn't the best way to anything except a migraine
