@ludonaut modern linux is making it harder and harder not to just daily windows 98 on this old thinkpad!

what ever happened to truetype pixel hinting anyway why did we forget how to make scalable fonts that don't need antialiasing?

@js i like that font for terminal but i wish modern linux could do variable width bitmap fonts for gui like windows did in 1995 with ms sans serif

@madewokherd why do linux users hate perfectly aliased bitmap fonts

this is why we can't have 1024x768 computers anymore, every font takes half my screen

@blp (as in, they don't show up as options)

@blp i know about those but i think i cannot use them as GUI fonts (on NsCDE at least, which is GTK/QT integrated)

are there any options for pixel-perfect no-anti-aliasing fonts like windows did in 1995 on a 2025 #linux system

it's somehow incredibly hard to make 2025 linux display perfect bitmap fonts which seemed to be a solved problem for the 1984 macintosh

@TonicBH what the hell, how i never heard this one

someone out there is using webgbcam to make delightful little gifs of train motion and i'll count that towards my positive impact in the world
