Someone at VoidLinux added this. Curious how many other distros package this.

    xbps-query -Rs retro
    [-] cool-retro-term-1.1.1_1          Good looking terminal emulator which mimics the old cathode display

It is also in Debian:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=cool-retro-term

I have it installed here and rarely use it (daily driver is urxvt), but it occasionally pops up when a GUI program wants to launch a terminal and by whatever configuration mechanism they use these days prefers cool-retro-term in favor of the urxvt :)

OpenSUSE has it packaged for Tumbleweed: <https://software.opensuse.org/package/cool-retro-term?search...>

I just checked Fedora and it is there.
