I occasionally switch on one of the alternate VTs, which are not running any GUI. However, I constantly use -- in fact, as I type, I'm using -- a program running in a PTY environment. IOW, the program "thinks" it's running on a dedicated text-only terminal. The news program (GNUS/emacs in my case) is not conscious of pixels, keycodes or the mouse. I must use keyboard commands to navigate. > On Windows, there are full screen games, but I have never seen a > full-screen, no-window text application. As I'm typing, I have two other, unrelated windows on the screen. I'm using LXDE, which is a classical GUI environment. It is my understanding that both Windows and Gnome are moving to a de-facto full-screen GUI. The GUI strongly prefers you opening windows in full-screen mode.
