Drawterm over WSL
Running drawterm fullscreen on WSL can be a bit tricky, so here are some notes for my future self.
WSL Installation
> wsl --install -d Ubuntu
Drawterm dependencies
$ sudo apt install build-essential libx11-dev libxt-dev
Xming
Go to Xming's shortcut properties, and replace the -multiwindow
option with -fullscreen
.
> ...Xming.exe :0 -clipboard -fullscreen
drawterm
Now run drawterm with a custom geometry that fits your screen.
$ export DISPLAY='localhost:0'
$ drawterm -g 1920x1080 ...
And that's it. What a lovely evening.
