You can always write your own OS to fit our needs.
You see, ls does not display all files by default because you don't
want
to see everyday your configuration files.

Usually one of the first command a user learns, when he encounters a
UNIX
or unix like system, is man. Unfortunately, sometimes, the first
command a user learns on a *NIX system is click.
If you use man to display the manual page for your terminal you will
see that
xterm has an option "-sl". This option tells xterm how many lines to
save in his buffer. Other terminal emulators have a similar option or
you can use their menu to change the number of lines they keep in the
buffer.
