What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I have kdeconnect on my i3wm.

May be because it is written using web-based technology (AFAIR, typescript).

wezterm is the terminal users can configure with programming language. (Kitty also can be configured programmatically). It is way more than a terminal and has terminal multiplexing and tabs.

I once in a period where I was using wezterm, kitty and alacrity. I didn't choose wezterm because it uses too much memory for me.

No reason to make a switch.

At least we know there are options. There are

  • different terminal with different feature sets such as terminal emulator with AI (the post was highly downvoted) e.g. warp
  • terminal with performance in mind e.g. Alacritty
  • terminal with simplicity in mind e.g. st, foot
  • terminal with styling in mind e.g. cool retro term

For me, I try them out and revise my choice accordingly.

My history of choices are Guake, Xfce terminal, konsole and Alacritty on Linux. Mac terminal, iTerm2, kitty and Alacritty on macOS.

Does the clip to remove the cover has label “sudo”?

st: simple terminal in c/terminal@lemm.ee
[–] tun@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

It has only 18 MB RAM usage out of the box on my computer.

My default terminal Alacritty uses above 80 MB.

Foot: fast, lightweight and minimalistic Wayland terminal emulator [wayland] in c/terminal@lemm.ee
[–] tun@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

This terminal has the lowest memory footprint.

I tried this on my spared laptop with AMD driver. If my main workstation is not on i3wm with nvidia+proprietary driver, I will change to sway and this.

Tilix: Tiling terminal emulator (gnunn1.github.io)
 

Tilix is a tiling terminal emulator which uses the VTE GTK+ 3 widget with the following features:

  • Layout terminals in any fashion by splitting them horizontally or vertically
  • Terminals can be re-arranged using drag and drop both within and between windows
  • Terminals can be detached into a new window via drag and drop
  • Tabs or sidebar list current sessions
  • Input can be synchronized between terminals so commands typed in one terminal are replicated to the others
  • The grouping of terminals can be saved and loaded from disk
  • Terminals support custom titles
  • Color schemes are stored in files and custom color schemes can be created by simply creating a new file
  • Transparent background
  • Background images
  • Quake mode support (i.e. drop-down terminal)
  • Custom hyperlinks
  • Automatic (triggered) profile switches based on hostname and directory
  • Supports notifications when processes are completed out of view. Requires the Fedora notification patches for VTE
  • Experimental trigger support (Requires patched VTE, see wiki)
  • Experimental badge support (Requires patched VTE, see wiki)

WezTerm - Wez's Terminal Emulator [rust] in c/terminal@lemm.ee
[–] tun@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

For me, I tried WezTerm for flexible configuration with lua.

Out of the rust terminals I have tried, alacritty has thr lowest memory consumption and has all the features I need (ligature not included).

IMHO it depends on the theme you use.

try well maintained themes and you will not have that kind of problem. Like gruvbox light.

https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes/

has lot of color themes. If your terminal of choice can use ANSI colors you can use tinted-shell.

Make sure you don't use bit subnet masking i. e. 192.168.1.0/24

Use 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 version.

Rio Terminal [rust] in c/terminal@lemm.ee
[–] tun@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I tried it for a moment and had not reached conclusion.

I want my term to use ANSI color so that I can use tinted shell or base16 shell. AFAIR, it does not use ANSI colors.

[how to][wezterm] Okay, I really like WezTerm (alexplescan.com)
 

This post is an introduction to configuring WezTerm based on the setup that I eventually landed on. ... I find most exciting about WezTerm is the flexibility of its Lua config, so we’ll be focusing on that. ... By the end of it all, we’ll have a terminal that looks like this:

Cool Retro Term based on qtermwidget (Konsole) [Linux][macOS] (user-images.githubusercontent.com)
 

A good looking terminal emulator which mimics the old cathode display...

cool-retro-term is a terminal emulator which mimics the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens. It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight.

It uses the QML port of qtermwidget (Konsole): https://github.com/Swordfish90/qmltermwidget.

This terminal emulator works under Linux and macOS and requires Qt5. It's suggested that you stick to the latest LTS version.

This is cosmic-term, a very WIP project that takes the alacritty_terminal crate providing the majority of terminal code but rewrites the renderer to support additional features such as bidirectional text and ligatures. It will support both software and GPU rendering, and will have additional UI sugar provided by libcosmic as they are implemented.

Alacritty, Konsole, or something else? Which terminal emulator do you recommend? (lemm.ee)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/8803046

So, Konsole shipped by default with KDE Plasma, my current Desktop Environment. While I don't have a problem with it, I am interested in what other people are using, because there very likely is something better out there.

Specifically I've seen talk of Kitty and Alacritty, although I've also read that the dev of Kitty is allegedly kind of a jerk, so I am specifically interested in how Konsole matches up to Alacritty in your experience, but other suggestions and general terminal emulator discussion are also welcome!

This repo has the information on the color supported by various terminal emulators.

Check the info to see whether your favorite terminal emulator supports truecolor or not.

P.S. My favorite alacritty supports true color
