maybe not day to day but frequently, when i bring my t420 with me. it's a good way to lurk threads or do simple web stuff while listening to music at the same time. saves battery compared to using a WM which i do use too, it's simply a startx command away.
it's the framebuffer console, with tmux. i do have emacs too. i don't really use mpv in the framebuffer so i can't speak on that. doing stuff like watching videos and graphical applications i just startx my WM, with everything still seamless in a detatched tmux, and then if i want to bounce back out to the framebuffer just killall xinit.
haven't explored changing the TTY colors but i'd imagine yes.
have not tried chawan, but i use links and w3m, i'll look into it thank you.
