>>108332136
didn't answer my question tardo. a "tty directly" is meaningless. Do you physically use the DE-8 or TTL headers on your mobo connected to a physical vt or no?
do you mean the shitty linux virtual console on VGA/EFIFB? you don't know what you're fucking talking about, kid.

How do you have multiple terminals?

when i am programming in emacs i will use eat for convenience. for normal desktop usage i have been using foot because i use gnome. in the past i used urxvt, but for wayland there is no point in using it. foot is not without its issues, it has some strange bugs, does not use gnomes csd, and cannot be extended like urxvt. any gpu accelerated terminal is a no go for me.
>>
>>108331733
urxvt works on my machine

>>108331733
xterm except for the rare occasions I need non-english characters (in which case urxvt).

>>108331802
This. Even if were to try others, I will be back.
>>
>>108334635
haha stupid good
>>
its xfce4 for me. its the only terminal that does everything i want without compromise. iv tried every terminal listed on the arch wiki and each one does something fucky or doesnt do something else just right.
the big one off the top of my head is persistent titles. most of them automatically change the title of the window to the cwd.

Konsole, the default in fedora kde. Works for me.
>>
I wish I could just use xterm or urxvt but writing a config file to change font size, font, color, columns, is just so retarded imo. I don't have time for this, I need muh GUI to change color schemes etc.

Been using xfce4-terminal for 15 years, good enouff.

Used to be a tinkertranny using urxvt but getting some shit to work would take hours then moved to konsole like a sane person. Linux must be nice to use on the ai age, last I tried was before 2019. FUCK reading documentation

Possibly true, but by the time you put all the plugins into another terminal you probably have the same problem.

Plus the kittens are pretty cool.

Konsole. Came with my system and has the features I like

foot is light and launches instantly. ghostty has native tabs, good ootb font settings, and lots of built in themes. both are good.

I used to use wezterm, now I use windows terminal
although I like to abuse nvim as a terminal multiplexer with it's built-in terminal buffers,
because nvim has superior keybinds and a better configuration system than wt
AND tmux is through cygwin is too fucking laggy to use
AND I'm not gonna deal with wsl or some other shitty VM just to do something as fundamental as using a terminal

literally designed the kitty protocol to fix the hacky and garbage ansi escape sequences of nix systems. You can hate him but he did improve terminals for unix. This is implemented in foot, wezterm, and maybe alacritty also?

There's no alternative to kitty for ssh-heavy workflows. Having one keybind for opening a new tab or pane on the local machine and another one for opening it on the remote machine in the same directory is a killer feature. Wezterm's ssh integration is nowhere near that smooth, and it also lacks the dwm-style pane layouts that are way better than h/v splits.

Too much jank, using a separate multiplexer inside a terminal emulator just feels claustrophobic. It also screws with terminal-based image protocols so I can't view images in the terminal on a remote machine by just typing 'icat important_work_image.png' in my ssh shell
