I'm still just trying to get my terminal to look like the Portal (1) Aperture Science screensaver, but for some reason last time I tried I couldn't get it just right. Now that I have KDE (and thus color picker and Konsole), I should try again..
The hardest part is the glow effect on the text I think.
This is more like Fallout than Portal but maybe it can work for you.
I've never been more excited about ruining my eyes 🤩
Hahaha, been there. :)

It can do bloom with its shaders, the way @[email protected] wants. I don't know if any of the presets have quite that much bloom, though.
It can do CRT-style scanlines, as he's looking for, and it doesn't have doesn't have to have the faux-CRT curvature; see the "Futuristic" preset for a preset that doesn't have that curvature.
EDIT: There's a settings dialog that lets one ramp up or down each of the given visual effects.

Though this seems to have multiple of those "falling" bright areas, and cool-retro-term only has one. I'm not sure what that's supposed to be, for either the screensaver or cool-retro-term. You can get a vaguely-similar effect if you have a video camera taking footage of a CRT; I guess the proper term for this is the stroboscopic effect. Might be what they're trying to depict.
If I remember right, they were adjustable in its settings. But it's been a long time since I've used this.
You're right...just checked, updated my comment, and then saw yours. :-)
Huh, cool! Apparently the dev who made this thought about everything. :)

I feel very attacked.
As long as it's not watery diarrhea brown (a.k.a "gruvbox"), I'll take it.

Meanwhile, I'm married and can't be bothered to change anything in my Kubuntu UI from the defaults. I wonder if there's a correlation, LOL

TIL what it means to "rice" a desktop
Derives from ricing cars. Ricing cars derives from "rice burner", where it was common to take an inexpensive, Asian-made car for modding. The pejorative nature kind of got lost somewhere along the way.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_burner
Rice burner is a pejorative term originally applied to Japanese motorcycles and which later expanded to include Japanese cars or any East Asian-made vehicles.[2][3][4][5] Variations include rice rocket, referring most often to Japanese superbikes, rice machine, rice grinder or simply ricer.[3][6][7]
T-Mobile's 1985 Corolla Sport GT-S coupé "Poser Mobile" advertisements exploited ethnic stereotypes and stereotypes of customized East Asian cars as failed imitations of "authentic" car culture
Riced out is an adjective denigrating a badly customized sports car, "usually with oversized or ill-matched exterior appointments".[8] Rice boy is a US derogatory term for the driver or builder of an import-car hot rod.[4] The terms may disparage cars or car enthusiasts as imposters or wanna-bes, using cheap modifications to imitate the appearance of high performance.
it’s a bit of a racist term, this meme would be better without
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_Dutch
"Going Dutch" (sometimes written with lower-case dutch) is a term that indicates that each person participating in a paid activity covers their own expenses, rather than any one person in the group defraying the cost for the entire group. The term stems from restaurant dining etiquette in the Western world, where each person pays for their meal. It is also called Dutch date, Dutch treat (the oldest form, a pejorative),[1] and doing Dutch.
The Oxford English Dictionary connects "go Dutch" / "Dutch treat" to other phrases which have "an opprobrious or derisive application, largely due to the rivalry and enmity between the English and Dutch in the 17th century", the period of the Anglo-Dutch Wars. Another example is "Dutch courage".[1] A term bearing some similarities is Dutch oven.
We've got some other terms in the same vein.
thanks for pointing that out, we should all consider avoiding those terms too

"The pejorative nature kind of got lost somewhere along the way."
Not according to some, who I'm surprised havent descended into this comment section yet.
It genuinely amazes me that some people learn of a racist origin and immediately crusade against it, on behalf of people who dont give a fuck.
Words change. When the majority of people are using a phrase in a benign manner, then dragging the racist origins back into the light is a really dumb way to fight against bigotry.
Guilt tripping people into adapting new phrasing isn't just arrogant and patronizing; it's counterproductive - it makes the actual fight against racism seem petty and performative.
