Then buy some other third party terminal that does support Unicode and terminal formatting. And you may as well also buy extended support for your obsolete OS, to get a few more years out of it until you eventually switch to Linux. Windows 7 is stable enough to serve daily needs for at least another 5–10 years, Unicode usually works as expected, patches are coming unofficially . Even XP is still sturdy thanks to the community efforts. Those needs exclude GPU-hungry games, and if one wants to play, there are indie gems and ScummVM & Dosbox wrappers to run soulful retro ones. As a side effect, this allows to escape the digital pollution of nowadays with gargantuan Electron-based junk like Signal Desktop (insane 2109 folders with 17862 files on disk and 350 MiB in memory seem to be acceptable for security LARPers). As for Linux-Tux, I tried that less traveled road soon after ██████ sent me a CD. It led me to a labyrinthine quagmire of incoherence between heterogeneous objects wrapped with a duct tape in a Sisyphean way. Go figure! But my LEGO days are long behind, not to mention less tolerance of verbose manuals that veil a lack of compassion for users people. This may induce an image of some hairy preacher eccentric like Richard Stallman, yet “there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of”. Indeed, there is a plethora of seasoned folks who are immune to bulldozing by end-of-life mantras of rentier capitalism and refuse to support the planned obsolescence, as Victor Papanek would say. Deus ex machina apps, such as Exhale , postpone upgrades and reduce costs by enabling us to allocate resources more efficiently without harming our perception and environment that much, thus they fit perfectly into an eco-friendlier mindset. Now, back to squeezing, enjoy!
