The Terminal Question


I know this probably comes up a lot and is liable to spark some debate, but I'm curious what the good options are for terminals. I've skimmed some reddit/lemmy posts about it and looked at a few options and I dunno how to decide between them because they all seem like they're too narrowly focused on some particular use case. I'm just using it for general terminal stuff, nothing terribly fancy. I'm aware that there's not one terminal to rule them all or anything, so I'm curious: what do you folks use, and more importantly, why do you use that over the (many) other options available?

Personally I've just been using konsole since it's what came with kde and it seems nice and all, but I feel like I'm missing out on features I don't even know about. One feature that might be nice is some kind of local LLM integration so I can get help on how to tinker with settings and such where i'm doing the tinkering instead of constantly tabbing out to duck.ai or w/e.

I have determined that foot is best for me personally, like alacritty and a couple others, it is very barebones. No tabs or anything like that without tmux. But it doesn't rely on GPU acceleration and is just as fast (or faster) than my experience using GPU accelerated terminals. Easy to configure and since it doesn't have the GPU requirements it works on old hardware like a dream. Only possible issue is that it is wayland only but since that is all I like to use it is perfect.

I find a lot like ghostty and wezterm try to include too many features. All I need a terminal emulator to be is a terminal emulator. But then a lot of these then add tabs, build in multiplexers & more and it is more bloated than I like a simple utility to be. Additionally, I don't need native tabs as a lot I do in the terminal uses SSH so it is easier just to use tmux/zilji and not have to manage it as much.

Linux vtty forever! Can't cat data into the framebuffer when your desktop is getting in the way!!

Jk I use gnome terminal for everything, or whatever default is available. It's quite amazing that most of them handle all but the most niche terminal features these days.

When I need to install a terminal emulator for some reason I always go for urxvt.. but it is pretty terrible (it's a great vt but mouse interaction is clunky and graphics are old school) compared to pretty much everything else.

Winter Dawn


Photographer @balsoft@lemmy.ml

I liked posting a picture here so I think I will try to do it weekly 😀

This is what the dawn of January 1st 2025 looked like for me. We've slept in my van through the night to get this view. The temperature was about -20℃ but it was worth it in the end.

The flats in the picture is the frozen Lake Paravani and the mountains are the Samsari ridge.

Because GHF aid sites are designed as traps to kill Palestinians. There is nothing humanitarian about GHF.
in reply to gwilikers

Israeli-American funded and ran 'aid' organisation which lures Palestinians from north to south Gaza if they want to get food GHF exists to ethnically cleanse the north of Gaza because other aid organisations distributed accross all of Gaza.

GHF also has Israeli soldiers on tank machinegun position, spraying bullets into the crowd at food collection because they think that is funny.

i wonder how frustrating it must by for sachs to be so knowlege about the inner workings of the united states and its adversaries and watch and they take painfully obvious steps into mutual annihilation, but be so widely disregarded by americans and the rest of the western world.

ASCII Diagram, offline, Linux, FLOSS


Hi,

I'm looking for a soft to create ASCII diagram like (or better)
asciiflow.com/

ideally:
- FLOSS
- for linux
- offline
- no javascript.

I've found a candidate ascii-draw and it's write in Python ❤️ 🐍, but it's only available as flatpack.. :/

in reply to SpongeB0B

I'm not sure why you wouldn't want the ASCII-Draw flatpak, but that's not the only way to get it:
- there's a Snap
- it can be installed from source
- there's also an AUR package

But maybe you're not on Arch, don't like Snaps (can't blame anyone for that) and don't want to install from source (same)? What type of package are you looking for? Only native package? For which distro?

Ideally running the .py python foobar.py will be ideal, otherwise an .appimage

I think I will have to build it my self (the .appimage ) 😀
