update: It works, but it's slow. Any UI like or is just too much for the little 600 MHz CPU.

So I'm going to make myself comfortable with a terminal environment. Or rather: I will MAKE myself a terminal environment, because unfortunately there is no good preconfigured terminal "desktop" that just works. I'm going to have to edit a lot of config files...

I wish there was some kind of vintage desktop I could use like... I don't know, 1? Surely that worked with 256 MB of RAM back then. 🤔

Current issues include:

- I can't remember the hotkeys
- Switching to a virtual terminal doesn't work
- Browsing the web with w3m doesn't display images (but I know it's possible)
- I don't know how to type `|`
- I don't know how to press the F1-12 keys
- It has trouble waking up from suspend (Ahh, a true classic!)
- When it suspends, it forgets to turn the keyboard backlight off
- I need a keybinding for the screen brightness
- I need a keybinding to turn the screen (and the touchscreen) off
- I need a keybinding for suspend
- I need a way ro remember all my keybindings
- I still haven't decided whether to use or just the virtual terminal

@fell Xfce should be usable on #N900. But you should really take a look at Maemo Leste, you get working system for little effort. #Maemo, #MaemoLeste, I guess?
