My first exposure to Unix was at college in computer labs full of X terminals all logging in to Alpha servers running Digital Unix (it was a DEC school). Then I installed RedHat on my own computer, and didn't even own a computer running Windows for the next 20 years...<p>Lots of nostalgia for that kind of environment.
You can still do this.<p>Hey, you could even use a Raspberry Pi as a terminal.<p>Not sure how the advent of Wayland changes things, but I would hope its creators would have the good sense to still make it possible.
Now the application processor is so cheap that Apple puts one in their display out of spite.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Studio_Display#:~:text=The%20Studio%20Display%20includes%20an,power%20audio%20and%20webcam%20processing" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Studio_Display#:~:text=T...</a>.
