Hi,
Thanks for trying the Linux installation.
Let me address the non-installation questions below.

The font used is the default text size. To make it customizable, we would need
to extend the parser and the UI. I do not plan/have time to make these changes
any time soon, but you are welcome to look at the code and propose changes, or
simply create your own version.

You cannot extend it. You would need to hook a Markdown parser into the syntax
highlighter for that.

Let’s take a moment to learn how to learn from the existing system once an
example is available.
An inspector tab is defined in an extension method in the class of the object
you are inspecting. Look at the Meta tab of a FileReference instance, and you
get to:
gtInspectorContentsIn: composite
<gtInspectorPresentationOrder: 5>
composite text
title: 'Contents';
display: [
self readStreamDo: [ :stream |
| result |
result := [(stream next: 10000)
asString]
on: Error
do: [ (stream binary next:
10000) asString ].
stream size > 10000
ifTrue: [ result, ' ...
truncated ...' ]
ifFalse: [ result ] ] ];
withLineNumbers: true;

You would have to hook to the change of the #text port in order to add the
autosave. For an example of how to hook to the #text port changes, take a look
at GLMBasicExamples>>#onChangeOfPortAction
