## What it is
eDEX-UI is a fullscreen, cross-platform terminal emulator and system monitor styled like a science-fiction computer interface, inspired by TRON Legacy effects. It is built with Electron and supports customization, advanced system monitoring widgets, and touchscreen input.

## Use cases

- monitor CPU, network, and system stats in a futuristic dashboard
- use a touchscreen-friendly terminal interface
- make my Linux desktop look like a movie computer interface
- customize a fullscreen terminal with themes and keyboard layouts

## When to choose
- you want a visually striking, functional terminal with built-in system monitoring
- you need a touchscreen-capable terminal for kiosk or demo setups
- you enjoy ricing your desktop with a TRON-like aesthetic

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight, resource-efficient terminal for daily work
- you require ongoing updates, bug fixes, or security patches - the project was archived in October 2021
- you need a minimal terminal without heavy Electron overhead
