**Nowox** (acronym of **No** **W**ayland **O**r **X**11 or **No** **W**indows **O**r **X**Quartz) is a [desktop environment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment) for terminals available on all three major desktop and server platforms, and acts like a keyboard-focused **graphical interface** for terminal environments, like SSH sessions or Linux frame-buffers. It contains numerous built-in programs, and can open external command line programs such [Bash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_%28Unix_shell%29) or [Qalc](https://qalculate.github.io/).
|
|
Please note that Nowox is still an **alpha** software, and does not seek to be exhaustive in terms of features.

# Use command line programs
|
|
Programs such as [Bash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_%28Unix_shell%29) or [Qalc](https://qalculate.github.io/) can be used seamlessly into Nowox with the terminal integration supporting a majority of ANSI support codes.
|
|
Please note that, however, a lot of terminal programs (such as nano or w3m) do not work due to their usage of unsupported ANSI codes that makes them refuse to display their content.
