What was the point of this comment? Yeah this is pretty much how I use my computer. I use netsurf because I can use it in the framebuffer. I use mg for text editing and file browsing (using dired), chat using ircii, and email with elm. I don't really do much that can't be done without a GUI, so I rarely use X for anything other than forwarding something from my main computer over ssh

Playing videos in underpowered machines vía streamlink/yt-dlp.

Tons of people under HN might know yt-dlp, but not streamlink.

About GUI's and the like, mpv has both SDL and KMS output, and both can render to the framebuffer. Ditto with mplayer and fbdev2.

Yeah, I'd probably use those if I had much use for them. Like I said, for any media consumption I have my PS vita and my work rarely requires me to do something with multimedia content while I'm on the go
