  5. 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:
    github.com/warpdotdev/warp/blo

    Alacritty:
    github.com/alacritty/vte/blob/

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

  14. 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

  15. 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.

  16. 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!

  17. 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.

  24. Fun from last night:
    Spending 4 hours trying to come up with a way to install on without layering packages.
    I ended up installing from , using rustup to setup 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"

  25. 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.

  26. @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)

    LeftWM config: git.efertone.me/efertone/confi
    Background image: git.efertone.me/efertone/confi (totally free to use)

  27. 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.

    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.

  28. 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

  29. WezTerm 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 !

  30. 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 👍

  36. 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?

  41. 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

  42. 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 ?

  43. 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.

  44. 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

  45. I've been using for the last 2 weeks instead of the .

    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)

  48. 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.
