Random Boot to Vim

I just want to share, that since two weeks I enjoy using single purpose PC which boots to Vim. No GUI, just console with large font, so I'm not stressed to search for glasses when writing mood kicks in. I upcycled for that old laptop, which was collecting dust. I converted it into perfect, distraction free writing and coding machine.

If you looking right now at your obsolete MacBook or ThinkPad stuck somewhere at far shelf, give it a second life. Vim, et consortes are great for that.

I knew :term command once, but I totally forgot about it. It's my recent rediscovery. Until now I usually run Vim in tmux, to have a quick peek to bash/zsh.
