Over time, we'll end up building up a library of posts about our favorite software for Ubuntu.
As an example, I love Cool Retro Term.
Cool Retro Term is a beautiful work of art that can emulate the look and font of old mainframe "dumb terminals," which displayed on CRT screens in a single color, or "monochrome."
There are multiple dumb terminal emulations available in Cool Retro Term. Some are amber monochrome, others are green monochrome, like the text in the Matrix movies. There are also silver-white on black monochrome terminal emulators.
To change the settings, you right-click on a corner of the terminal frame.
Here's an example of the default amber monochrome dumb terminal emulator:

If you do find yourself winding up using the terminal for something, it might as well be pleasant to look at.
More posts about software and terminal later. For right now, I'm creating the categories with this post.
You can find out a great deal more about Cool Retro Term on It's FOSS at this link: https://itsfoss.com/cool-retro-term/
* NOTE: You do not have to use the terminal to install it anymore. It's available in the Ubuntu Software App. (GUI Snap store)
