Which terminal emulator do you use?
>>108551831edex
>>108551842>edexhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGeY1rK19zAIt looks cool. Very sci-fi. What is it, though? Is it a terminal emulator? Is it a file browser? Is it a desktop environment? Looks like a futuristic emacs.
>>108551831Alacritty and GNOME's Console.
>>108551876it's a electron app made to look like the UI from Tron but actually usablenowadays you can just vibecode these i suppose
ghosttydamn near perfect if you ask me
wezterm
>>108552159>wezterm>GPU-accelerated terminalIs that the state of terminal emulators today? I guess I'm sticking with urxvt and xterm256colors.
Whatever comes with my desktop or urxvt.
>>108551831emacs eat
>>108551831st, foot, and sometimes cool retro term
>>108551831konsole
>>108551876>archived 2021wtf
>I'll always be STst, but before that I used xTerm for over a decade. I haven't played with emacs much, but it's shell kinda sucks. Are there any fixes/patches that I can add to it?
>>108552595People usually install vterm I think, that's what I have on it and it works pretty good
>>108552150>have to install toolchain for some faggot nu-age lang just to use a term emulatorfuck off
konsole, coz xterm doesn't allow changing font size without mucking about in Xresources. Same with urxvt.
>>108551831ghostty
konsoleemacs-libvterm
>>108552560>sttinkertranny useless piece of shit
>>108551831Yakuake, because it's so damn convenient.
>>108551831stNo patches
>>108551831esp32s3 vt100 emulator
>>108551831Xterm is goodIf I want something more customized Sakura is a good xterminal emulator
Legit question. Why does it matter? I don't get it.
st with tabbed
>>108555389try out GNOME Terminal, Konsole, alacritty, ghostty, st, xterm, urxvt. There are major differences in the features, how they handle windows, events, mouse input, customization and so on. Personally, I like classic X terminal emulators that are customized via .Xresources and .Xdefaults, because that is what I am used to. You configure st by modifying the header file and recompiling. Some terminal emulators support images, have inbuilt scripts and all sorts of things, just look at edex.
>>108551831>terminal emulatorlol no I don't emulate, I use real terminal hardware like the original developers intended
>>108551842>5 years since last updateBut why
>>108555683how often does a terminal editor need to update once it works and all critical bugs have been fixed?
>>108552391it runs smooth in wangblows, is why I use itallows me to run zshIf you have a better alternative I'm all ears.

>>108555723I assure you I do not care.
>>108555726I don't think the world will ever recover from this terrible news
>>108555709Never. My windows term/ssh client is 16 years old.
>>108551831termonad
>>108555670No you don't
i like what i do and i do what i like
Xterm; most features, lowest latency. I don't know why I would use anything else.
>>108555805if you resize the window or after you open man/less, the previous characters that were printed are fucked for some reasononly VTE-based terminals that don't shit the bed
if your terminal isn't written in pure assembly and accelerated with dx12, I do not care
>>108555130st is borderline unusable without any patches

>>108552410This.Terminal Emulator is supposed to be just a black square where I write commands for my computer in secret language. Everything beyond that is bloat and because of that there's virtually no difference between good terminals.
>>108556568>Everything beyond that is bloatThe terminal emulator you got with your DE is bloated.
>>108551831what is picrel exactly? is it a "terminal" ? what even is a terminal in the oldschool sense? do they have a processor? i struggle to understand early computers

i was using ghostty until a memory leak caused 400GB memory usage overnight. This was after the fix that is supposed to solve the memory leak. Lesson learned to not use meme terminal made in meme language.I am using kitty now.
>>108552391K. Enjoy not having cool features, I guess.
>>108559028I would urge you to abandon the Covid Goyim Pussy terminal for the rusty Wezterm. You might have to read some docs, but at least by the time you have 1000 lines in your wezterm.lua, you'll have some programming logic doing something useful to justify the bloat.
