Open-source ESP32 desktop runs in the terminal with mouse support
Original: This open-source mouse-controlled ESP32 desktop runs within the terminal
An open-source project has built a desktop environment for the ESP32 microcontroller that operates entirely within a terminal and can be controlled with a mouse. The unusual approach of bringing a graphical-style desktop to a low-cost microcontroller inside a text interface is drawing attention from embedded systems hobbyists and developers interested in lightweight computing experiments.
Why now: Hobbyists and developers are intrigued by running a desktop environment on a cheap ESP32 chip inside a terminal.
