When I see people complain about Linux it always boils down to the terminal. If that's the "only" hurdle, Linux is in a good place. I mean, life throws far more hurdles at us as soon as we leave home. If we can survive that, we can survive the terminal.

One of my favorite featues of #Alacritty is how it allows you to shrink its windows to any size, which allows you to use an Alacritty window as a ruler...

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.

Moved from #alacritty to #kitty this week. But I really needed a better icon.
Picked the white one. 😺https://github.com/DinkDonk/kitty-icon

@jnunemaker I see no mention of #Alacritty here. I switched to it form iTerm2 (which I had been sponsoring and using for years and years) when iTerm2 introduced AI features.

Ogni tanto scopro qualche nuovo software, questo lo conosce qualcuno? - https://alacritty.org/ #alacritty

@ruralocity @mitchellh after one week of usage I can tell I'm not going back to #alacritty, I will keep myself using #ghostty for the foreseeable future.

I've been told your #Rails leader uses #Alacritty as his terminal emulator - part of their Linux "distribution"...

That above has accelerated my _need_ to move to something else since I had some other issues - besides being kind-of-slow in my environment...

So, starting today I'm changing to #Ghostty, by @mitchellh

https://ghostty.org

Ghostty is neat, and works perfectly with my current setup: #tmux + #ViM on both, macOS and Linux.

Graphical apps like #Alacritty now works, it just needs something called #NixGL installed, and then you have to run the application from the terminal with nixGL, example:

nixGL alacritty

~/.nix-profile/share/applications/Alacritty.desktop

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.

Alacritty Contributors released #Alacritty version 0.16.1. https://alacritty.org/

Alacritty 0.16, a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator, adds support for Unicode 17, new Vi motions, and system-wide configuration options.

@akhil Ставил, использовал котёнка:
да, гибко настраивается, много чего умеет, но никакого ускорения от gpu там я не заметил 🙄
Сменил стандартный на днях на #Alacritty. Вот он действительно быстрый и отзывчивый, потому что простой и минимальный. Из минусов — нет картинки фоном.

Sometimes my terminal is behaving very oddly that depending on the application I use it has issues rendering Umlaute, other unicode symbols seem to be fine.
I might get something like this instead then: "Leertaste fr n�hste Seite" - like this is one ü just missing and an ä being rendering wrongly but also the c next to it missing. Does someone have an idea? I am on #FreeBSD with #Alacritty and #fishshell - but it doesnt seem to be specific to Alacritty or fish.

Been getting this error a couple of times already on #macOS (in a terminal) recently, the heck?

Found out that #ghostty has #systemd utility, using notify-reload. And it works with #snap. 😄 I now have the terminal opening as fast I once did with #alacritty. I can't turn back anymore... 😅

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

Decided to do some #Linux terminal hopping. (EDIT: Added Foot, Sakura and GPU metrics.)

This is my completely unscientific test: maximised window, tmux with a NeoVim session, paging quickly through some code. I wanted to see what the most CPU usage would be for these terminals. I'm testing on a Ryzen 7 7840U.

Why worry about CPU? Laptop users and low-power machine users will care about CPU usage. I'm trying to eke as much life out of my equipment as possible.

Tests

#Alacritty (with the Graphics patch)

Unfocussed: 0%
Focused: 0% (briefly 0.6% at initial focus)
Active: 6.4%
Active GPU: 3%

Notes: Just started using this. Line drawing seems better than Kitty to me. I think I slightly prefer the font rendering, too, although Alacritty will not render font ligatures. Has a Vi mode that I'm trying to get used do (although largely useless when using tmux).

Foot #FootTerminal

Unfocussed: 0%
Focused: 0%
Active: 15.6%
Active GPU: N/A (not even listed in nvtop)

Notes: Suggested by @oht. Simple, lightweight, no use of the GPU at all. Might not be enough to sway me from Kitty/Alacritty.

#Ghostty

Unfocussed: 0%
Focused: 0% (briefly 1.3% at initial focus, occasionally 0.6% blips)
Active: 19.1%
Active GPU: 6%

Notes: My guess is the reliance on libadwaita makes this more heavyweight. I'm pleased that there's now a "maximize" config option - setting the window size to big numbers never worked properly for me in KDE Plasma.

#Kitty

Unfocussed: 0%
Focused: 0%
Active: 7.6%
Active GPU: 4% (very briefly, mostly 3%)

Notes: Used most of the time recently, but many other OSes don't like being SSH'd into from it (I know you can set TERM, but the developer strongly discourages this). Its rendering of Nerd Font characters seems to be the best - for example, arrows have no pixel gaps at the top and bottom. I do like CTRL-SHIFT-G to search through the output of the last command (although largely useless when using tmux).

#Konsole

Unfocussed: 0%
Focussed: 0% (briefly 1.3% at initial focus)
Active: 31.2%
Active GPU: N/A (as reported by nvtop)

Notes: I like Konsole and have used it for years, but it's just too CPU hungry.

Sakura #sakuraterm

Unfoussed: 0%
Focussed: 0% (hits 1.3% at initial focus, occasionally 0.6% and 1.3% blips)
Active: 25.6%
Active GPU: N/A (not listed in nvtop)

Notes: Suggested by @scops. Unfortunately, it's one of the worst offenders. It's possible that the reliance on GTK is raising the CPU usage.

Final Thoughts

I've been using a combination of Kitty and Konsole for a while, depending on my needs. This has felt cumbersome and I've wanted to find a fix for a while.

I'm going to give Alacritty with the Graphics patch a go for now. I've bound Meta-Enter to a windowed terminal (was Konsole) and Meta-Shift-Enter to maximised (was Kitty).

I really want to like Ghostty, but I do think the focus on libadwaita adds a burden to a system that many people don't need, plus a skew towards GNOME users. Granted, it's still less CPU hungry than Konsole, but it doesn't feel like the lightweight terminal app that people claim it to be. I'm looking forward to libghostty being released to see if someone makes a non-libadwaita Ghostty.

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.

Llega ese momento del año en el que pienso que debería usar otra #terminal. Verán, luego de un breve pero lindo romance con #Alacritty creo que me merezco una terminal que soporte #TerminalGraphicsProtocol o una cosa llamada #sixel que entiendo que hace lo mismo.

¿Ustedes qué terminal usan?
