VTM is awesome Hi Dmitry sir I'm a huge fan of your VTM Terminal Multiplexer, I've been thinking about the Terminal Desktop Environment for months and collecting the terminal programs that could form a complete Desktop Environment.

your Terminal Multiplexer is the best and most easy and convenient to use out of the box I couldn't get it to work on Termux (the Android Linux Terminal) though, so for Termux I use tmux with the mouse option enabled (or GNU screen).
your VTM looks incredibly cool on Windows, with the transparency it looks very fancy, useful and convenient 😊
I think that it's really cool to set up all the basic tools one could need for a Terminal Desktop Environment with a single Command Line script, so I have been thinkering with such a script pipeline.
For Termux (Android 5+): apt update && apt upgrade && apt install tmux nano mc elinks htop man ncdu ncdu2 wget git zsh && git clone https://github.com/sbilko/sbilko && curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zimfw/install/master/install.zsh | zsh && chsh -s zsh
For Desktop Terminal with Xorg:
Terminal User Interface (TUI): efficient, lasting, stable, not spyware, Text Editor: nano, emacs, vim, Multiplexer: kitty, vtm, tmux (mouse), zellij, gnu screen, byobu Browser: elinks, carbonyl, browsh, w3m w3m-img, links, lynx, links2, Email: mutt, notmuch, File Manager: ranger, mc Task manager: htop, btop Wifi manager: wavemon Time: calendar, calcurse Disk space viewer: ncdu, ncdu2 SSL: ncdc Music: cmus Video: mplayer
For Desktop Terminal without Xorg:
I think that a complete Terminal Desktop Environment is cool, to this day only GNU Emacs have something like that (though I find Emacs keybindings to be unconventional, and thus offputting for newcomers, I like the ergonomics-mode) Though this guy had put together a complete Terminal Desktop Environment years ago in the Gnome Terminal:

A Terminal Desktop Environment wouldn't be complete without a complete Desktop bar.
(If one looks at Windows 11 Desktop bar pics)
Elements of a Desktop bar: Windows button Power / Shutdown / sleep / restart / hibernate buttons Programs list Desktop files searchbar Switch desktops button Settings File manager App store and apps update Browser Office Suite: Word / Excel / Power Point editors PDF / Image / Video viewers System Security Defender button System Update button USB flash drive button to open and eject.
