not directly related, but I've been thinking about getting an old CRT monitor, launch https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term and start working

To… put some crt in your crt, so you can have phosphor persistence while your phospors persist?

Why would you put a crt emulator on a crt?

In fairness to the GP, the kind of CRT that would support a usable desktop session is light years away from the type of CRTs that cool-retro-term simulates.

Though if I was going to do something like this then personally I’d rather have a second screen as a CRT and have that resolution dropped right down, rather than “putting some crt in your crt”

Exactly, two levels of awesomeness
