aesthetic because I was born too late to take mono crt's for granted. Also, it'd be really cool to get an experience more in line with the old Unix design philosophy. Admittedly it isn't pure, cuz I don't have $3-4k to plow on a 1980's mainframe.
I was born in 1996, growing up around GUI's and shitty OS's like Windows 98-10. When I was 15 I experimented a little with Ubuntu but only now am I starting to appreciate how different Unix-like OS's are. I'm not great with commands yet (man pages are all I do anymore), but I can still figure out how to get the machine to do exactly what I want, even though I don't know wtf I'm doing.
These machines won't be around forever.
