has anyone tried building it from source?
Building with gcc requires ~4Gb of RAM; clang requires ~8Gb. Due to memory requirements, building vtm for a 32-bit target is only possible using cross-compilation. In addition, cmake downloads Lua sources during the build process.

Re: Vtm: Text-Based Desktop Environment
#94honest question, since i really like the idea but don't understand the implementation: what use is a text-based desktop environment, if it requires a graphical interface and cannot run in a tty?

Been using Zellij for awhile and it is delightful! I am only a moderate terminal user, but I really like having some basic multiplexing features if I need them. My brain just could not hold onto the necessary tmux key combos with only intermittent use. Instead I find the Zellij commands to be more intuitive (and more discoverable thanks to the handy prompts...)
Its not hard.

The demo video has a lot of Borland's Turbo Vision vibes.
It was a great framework, it was my path into OOP, after learning it previously in TP 5.5 (TV was released alongside TP 6, and Borland C++ 3.0), and its design was quite pragmatic.
