Big ol rewrite in C, like God intended because GOOD LORD C++ IS A MESS. Originally written with C23, then ported to C99 because it's a bigger numer. Also trivially portable to ANSI C. Idk maybe I'll port it to C23 again.

Hardcoded to work with 4x40 character display because that's what I have and I don't plan on using anything else. Uses Matrix Orbital protocol over serial. Should work with most other display sizes by modifying `src/LCDDisplay.cpp`. Best of luck if you try to make it work with anything else.

- Screens could be automatic tbh, like if it detects media playing it switches to media screen, if in media screen and GPU power > 80W it switches to main (hwmon) screen

- **FUCK C++, HUGE REWRITE FROM SCRATCH IN C LIKE GOD ALWAYS INTENDED** but fuuuuck display thread would be so painful without std::string. And I really would need to start a whole ass project from a clean slate since I made it a point to use a lot of C++ features which now bite me in the ass.

### Shit needed to compile on Debian 13

V simple:

```bash

sudo apt install build-essential cmake libwebsockets-dev nlohmann-json3-dev

sudo apt install build-essential cmake
|

make configure
