Just saw that they open sourced warp (the terminal that turned into LLM slop) and decided to look at some of the remaining terminal emulation pieces.

There's some *interesting* similarities in the terminal code I've looked at so far:

Warp:
https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp/blob/master/crates/warp_terminal/src/model/ansi/control_sequence_parameters.rs#L15

Alacritty:
https://github.com/alacritty/vte/blob/master/src/ansi.rs#L819

Interesting how quickly an Apache (and in parts MIT) license can turn into AGPL.

My laptop had filled with 4 years of cruft, conflicting configs, and unnecessary files. Things were slow so I decided to wipe it completely. I always loathe setting up new machines but honestly it was a breeze. Getting my dev environment and look and feel back up only took about an hour or so, and this thing boots so much faster now.

#Linux #Fedora #Fastfetch #Alacritty #Framework

Testing out #Nix on #SteamOS/#SteamDeck, and so far so good! It's been helpful in getting any of the missing non-graphical packages I need, such as to install and get my #KDE/#Dolphin service menu working (https://github.com/irfanhakim-as/kde-service-menu-reimage) - where I needed a couple of missing deps like #ImageMagick and #Exiftool.

Most of the graphical apps I need are easily found/installable on #Flatpak though, except something like #Alacritty. I previously installed it on this system using #Distrobox and it worked great, I thought to test installing a graphical app off of Nix - but it doesn't seem that worked with Alacritty. From my search it's something to do with GL/Vulkan apps outside of #NixOS or something of the like. There were also some apps that aren't available as Flatpaks, are available on #ArchLinux 's #AUR, but aren't available on Nix.

There will also be things that don't work too, I think for reasons that may be obvious to others, such as adding HEIC support to KDE apps like Dolphin (for previews) and #Gwenview (for image viewing). On a 'normal' Linux system, this is done by installing libheif and kimageformats (pretty sure u need both). Installing them on this SteamOS machine tho off of Nix, doesn't really help the system's Dolphin and Gwenview app to be able to serve/open HEIC files.

Still, I know I'm just barely scratching the surface of what I could do with Nix - even as just a 'package manager'. I understand why maybe #Valve is holding themselves back from pre-installing Nix for now tho (unlike something like #Podman or #Distrobox, which they were surprisingly - in a good way, happy to do) bcos the situation with the Nix project, atm, is a lil confusing.. but as recommended by others on here, I think I'm having a good luck/time with the #Lix project's 'flavour' of Nix.

I saw a YT clip about Kitty, which is an alternative to Alacritty (the default terminal in Omarchy), and I have to say it is really nice in Kitty as it runs off the GPU. This means it can show me previews of images right there in the TUI.

Sweet!

#Kitty #Alacritty #Omarchy #Arch #Yazi

Started using #archcraft and its cool as heck
But #alacritty borked and idk how to make it be not the dumb anymore. Any #linux help?
Tried reinstalling & changing shell.

Fun #activities from last night:
Spending 4 hours trying to come up with a way to install #Alacritty on #Aurora #Linux without layering packages.
I ended up installing #rustup from #homebrew, using rustup to setup #cargo and then using cargo to install Alacritty. And I had to make .desktop file myself.
Only caveat - no way to include updating cargo and crates in "ujust update" (or I'm not smart enough). So after updating I have to manually run "rustup update" and "cargo install alacritty"

I see a lot of fuzz about #Ghostty #TerminalEmulator, and I'm sure it's great. But all that GTK and window/tab management stuff, no, thanks. I like fast and simple terminals, and letting my window manager take care of tabs, splits, etc. Been using #urxvt, #st, #kitty, #alacritty, #wezterm and then back to kitty. Give me a fast, spartan terminal with UTF-8, ligature support and a big buffer. That's all I need.

@aks I have a very simple setup. Nothing to see really.

• WM: #leftwm
• Distro: #arch
• Background: My creation with #krita created long long years ago, and still using it.
• At the top I have #polybar with a lot of extra custom scripts
• Terminal: #alacritty
• Shell: fish (moved from zsh recently)

Hi all! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I graduated law school earlier this year. I practice at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.

I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for 2 years now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.

• RSS feed

My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

Been tinkering a bit with Alacritty and it’s honestly pretty close to replacing iTerm as my terminal of choice. It feels a bit faster, but that could just be a perception thing.

If it had window splitting (yeah, I know I could use tmux, but no thanks) and session restore, it would be a no brainer.

#iterm #alacritty #macos

WezTerm https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ surpasse tous les terminaux que j'ai pu tester jusqu'ici. Je suis passé de #urxvt à #alacritty (pour la fame et rust) puis à #kitty dernièrement pour le support des ligatures. Kitty était pénible pour plein de choses (assez lent pour certains trucs, un ssh mal géré, écrit en python, etc)
WezTerm est génial : support des ligatures, des images, rapide, configurable, doc top et compatible #linux #macos et même #windows !

I've been trying CachyOS. CachyOS comes with Alacritty. My curiosity got the best of me and I've been trying Alacritty too ^_^

I posted a quick blog today on my first attempt at installing it from scratch 👍

The repo have the link for the pre-build packages.

Let me know if you find any issue.

PS: I will try to compile some of then in Slackware15 but the main focus is the current/next-version.

mucho se habla del #DistroHopping pero ¿qué me dicen del #TerminalHopping o #ShellHopping?

yo por ejemplo he tocado #GnomeTerminal, #Terminator, #guake, #yakuake, #kitty y #alacritty que recuerde. Pasé un largo tiempo usando #Guake hasta que extrañé mi tecla F12 y decidí usar un área de trabajo completa solo para el terminal, como hago ahora.

De shells he pasado casi toda mi vida en #bash y llegué a tocar #zsh y otras raras pero ahora soy feliz en #fish

¿y ustedes?

ok, llevo unos días que cambié #gnomeTerminal por #alacritty y tengo las siguientes

I M P R E S I O N E S

cosas que extraño de gnome-terminal:

* que sí le sirve la pantalla completa
* que puede adaptarse al "modo oscuro" del resto del escritorio

cosas que me gustan de Alacritty:

* que le puedo añadir transparencia al terminal y se ve mamón
* que puedo seleccionar, desplazarme en la historia, copiar y pegar sin usar el ratón
* que puedo configurar con #TOML

Today i had a little styling session for my #terminal stuff. I chose a #catppuccin mocha spinoff.
#HelixEditor: it was easy, well-documented, but alot of stuff to do
#Alacritty: i just copied over a config from #TOML to #Nix
#Zellij: same as alacritty
#GiTUI: i copied a .ron file via #HomeManager , which worked, but my colors are borked (the "button" colors are unreadable)

Have to invest some more time, maybe i can try to improve the docs @rusticorn ?

I actually already did this in 2018 when #vim 8.1 came out. I was using #MacVim back then, simply because it was rendering text much faster than all the terminal apps available at the time. The new built-in terminal in 8.1 was a huge feature. It allowed me to stop switching between MacVim and the terminal all the time and still enjoy a fast vim experience. Eventually faster terminals like #alacritty, #kitty and #wezterm and also #neovim made me switch back to the terminal again.

short post; how to setup a drop-down, semi-transparent terminal ala #guake under #hyprland and #macos using a modern terminal setup like #alacritty and #zellij

https://clux.dev/post/2023-10-01-drop-down-terminal/

I've been using #Alacritty for the last 2 weeks instead of the #GnomeTerminal.

True to be told, I don't see any impacting difference regarding the work I usually do in the command line (which resumes to run some boring commands and text editing).

I might move back to gnome-terminal anytime (I miss Terminus-font italics which gnome-terminal renders just fine, but alacritty has some issues with)

I am currently challenging myself to make better use of my keyboard layout (bone, a variant of #neo2). It has a lot of useful keys in the main keyboard field, and not having to move my hands away is a speed win.

I'm also trying to do more things with the command line, and I'm currently very happy with #alacritty on Windows 10.
