From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey OP, what is the coolest feature?

But does it roll down like Yakuake did before I updated Fedora and broke it? :( That’s all I want.

I've been a foot user for quite some time now. However, this seems interesting.

rn Im using Kitty, I'll check out Ghostty later.

I <3 kitty, will probably give this a look but I've got kitty so well tuned to my liking at this point it's hard for me to imagine switching

Have got kitty and xterm looking identical, multiplexing is done by zellij anyway

I think kitty is a bit snappier but honestly you could switch one out for the other and I probably wouldn't notice

I think I'll stick to alacritty, but options are always fun

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago
